The Kiambu government has scrapped the Sh20 paid daily by market traders to cushion them from the effects of Covid-19. Traders led by Ruiru market chairman Peter Waiganjo praised the county government for scrapping the daily charges, saying this will help most traders save up to Sh15,000 annually and expand their businesses. “The Sh20 daily fee might seem meagre but it’s a lot of money, especially to the small traders. He also praised the Kiambu county government and the national government for constructing sheds in the open-air market. One was going for no less than Sh3,000 and this was a huge loss to us since most of us are small-scale traders.
