Balloting exercise of
Kisumu’s Uhuru Business Market Complex in the offing
THE Much awaited balloting exercise of the Uhuru Business
Park Market Complex in Kisumu City will be done next week on November 12.
Nyanza Regional Commissioner Magu Mutindika says the
exercise will be carried out as from 10:00 am on the day schedule.
Addressing the press at his office in Kisumu, the Nyanza
regional commissioner said the targeted persons on the issue of the balloting
exercise for the Complex are the ones in the attached list which the Kisumu
Central Sub County Deputy County Commissioner office has.
The Regional Commissioner says the balloting exercise is
done because the complex has been completed and ready for occupation by the
traders.
He says the balloting exercise will be done at the venue
next to Jua Kali Artisan area, adding that the traders whose names are in the
lists are expected to turn up and participate in the balloting exercise.
The Regional Commissioner says the Government is requesting
all the validated business community who were genuinely validated from the area
of Kisumu Port where they were removed to come on the day of balloting without
fail.
“There was a special committee that was going round in
genuinely identifying the business people who were operating at the Kisumu Port
should equally not miss to come during the balloting exercise next week for the
business Complex in Kisumu City,” Mutindika says.
Mutindika says this will be a game change for such business
community because they will be allocated spaces for doing their businesses.
He says after the balloting exercise, all the traders will
be able to occupy the spaces allocated to them immediately without fail.
“After the balloting exercise, we expect all those traders
who have been allocated spaces to immediately occupy such spaces and do
businesses without wasting any time,” he adds.
The Nyanza Regional Commissioner has directed that any kind
of dispute or clarification should be forwarded to the office of the Deputy
County Commissioner Kisumu Central Sub-County.
Controversy have been surrounding the allocation of spaces at
the state-of –the art modern business complex where about 5,000 traders who
were evicted from the Kisumu Port and other areas within Kisumu’s Central
Business District since some traders have claimed that people whose stalls and
premises were demolished made it to the list of beneficiaries.
This has reportedly contributed to the postponement of the official
opening of the facility that has been constructed by the National Government
under President Uhuru Kenyatta with the latest postponement done nearly a week
ago.
