Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has donated 5,000 iron sheets to support traders who were severely affected by the recent inferno at Toi Market. In addition to the iron sheets, Governor Sakaja revealed that the county government has allocated 100 million shillings for the reconstruction of the market. The funds will also be used to erect a perimeter wall around the market, a project that will be overseen by county officers in collaboration with the local community. To further alleviate the burden on the traders, Governor Sakaja announced a three-month waiver on daily market charges to help them recover from the losses caused by the frequent fires. The fire, which broke out last week, razed the market to the ground and tragically claimed the lives of four people.
