“The Maji Mazuri Modern Market in Kasarani Constituency, Nairobi County, is one such investment, providing traders with a modern and dignified place to do business.
“Built on 8.4 acres of public land, the three-block, four-storey complex is nearing completion, with major structural works, plastering and floor tiling finished. The facility is in its final finishing stages ahead of its anticipated commissioning,” said PS Omollo.
He mentioned that the market is designed to accommodate between 1,200 and 1,500 permanent traders, with capacity for nearly 3,000 during peak market days.
He highlighted that the facility is expected to bring essential trading services closer to Kasarani residents who previously travelled to Githurai or relied on makeshift roadside stalls.
The market features multi-level retail spaces, secure storage, modern market shades, internal access roads, ample parking and improved sanitation.
Further, PS Omollo said the market will contribute to safer public spaces and more orderly urban commerce.
“The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration has a stake in ensuring that the facility becomes an environment where traders, customers and surrounding communities can conduct their activities with confidence, supporting Nairobi's wider urban development,” added PS Omollo.
This comes a day after the Interior PS gave an update on the Suna-Marindi Modern Market in Migori County.
In an update on Wednesday, PS Omollo said the market is partially complete, with the ground floor operational and serving hundreds of entrepreneurs.
“The new facility provides organized trading stalls, modern ablution blocks, paved access roads and spacious parking areas, improving sanitation, safety and the movement of goods and customers,” he wrote.
