She said that the market would incorporate amenities such as a food court, an ICT hub with free WIFI for use by youth who would like to engage in online business, as well as a crèche for mothers who bring their babies to the market.

“Mothers with infants will no longer have to choose between staying back home or coming to trade in the market since their babies are now well taken care of," Waiguru stated.  

Waiguru expressed optimism that the market will transform Kimbimbi town into a vibrant center of commerce, noting her administration aimed at expanding progressive trading opportunities and reducing liquor trade in the county.

Mwea Member of Parliament, Mary Maingi, who also attended the handing-over ceremony, thanked the governor for providing a conducive trading environment for her constituents who have had to put up with harsh conditions in the open-air markets in the area.
