Ksm Governor Promise to complete Kibuye market after his re-election

Kisumu Governor has promised to complete the second phase of construction of Kibuye Market should he be re-elected for a second term during the next month’s polls.

Prof Anyang Nyong’o who is seeking re-election on Orange Democratic Movement{ODM} Party ticket for the second and final term in office as the Kisumu Governor, said one of the first assignment will be the completion of the infamous Kibuye Market.

Addressing the traders and electorates of Kisumu County at Kibuye Market today during his tour of the projects the County Government of Kisumu has implemented during his reign as the Governor of Kisumu for the last five years, Nyong’o said he will also modernize the decades old market which houses many traders on Sunday which is its market day and other days of the week.

At the same time, the Kisumu Governor has received a wide round of applause from traders within Jubilee Market after he directed that the millions of shs rent arrears the traders owed the County Government of Kisumu be written off since the traders suffered huge losses during the corona virus pandemic.

The Governor at the same time has waived market rent/ fees arrears totaling to shs 13,220,034 owed to the County Government of Kisumu by small scale traders at Jubilee Market.

“This is purely meant to cushion the traders herein against the devastated effects of Covid-19 and the current hard economic times,” Nyong’o says.

The Kisumu Governor has also waived the land rates for the Kisumu Center Jua Kali Artisans Association on plot number 517 totaling to shs 2,133,632.

Nyong’o had earlier in the day commissioned the newly constructed fish cold storage facility at Jubilee Fresh Fish Market.

He says this positions Kisumu City as a regional fish aggregation and marketing center.
