Sakaja Inspects Kahawa West Market as Construction Hits 70%, 350 Traders Set to Benefit<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
NAIROBI, Kenya \u2014<\/strong> Nairobi Governor Johnston Sakaja has toured the ongoing construction of the Kahawa West Market, with the project now 70% complete<\/strong> as the county government moves to expand modern trading spaces across the capital.<\/p>\n
The new market will feature 226 modern stalls<\/strong> and is expected to benefit approximately 350 traders<\/strong>, providing them with a secure, organised and dignified environment to conduct their businesses.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
For years, many traders in Kahawa West have operated from temporary structures, exposing them to harsh weather conditions, including the sun and rain. The new facility is intended to provide a safer and more conducive environment for traders while supporting local economic activity.<\/p>\n
The county government says modern markets are more than physical structures, describing them as economic centres where traders can sell their goods, earn livelihoods and grow their businesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Construction is also progressing on other major markets across Nairobi. South B Market is reported to be 96% complete, Maji Mazuri Market is ready, while Gikomba Phase One stands at 90% completion.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Governor Sakaja said the county will maintain the momentum on market development, with the goal of providing traders with modern, safe and dignified spaces to work and prosper.<\/p>\n
\u201cOpportunity. Dignity. Markets. Nairobi is at work.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
