18 September 2013

Traders and customers at the Nakuru's open market are at risk of contracting water-borne diseases. The traders operating at the market have said the garbage which is an eye-sore to customers has not been collected.

A vendor, Geoffrey Muturi told the media yesterday they have been losing customers owing to the stench emanating from blocked sewer. "It will be good if the ministry in charge can address the problem," he said He said Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua issuing a directive to council workers to clean the market and nothing has been done.
