Confusion has rocked the iconic Nairobi City Market after workers who are doing renovation works covered a large concrete crucifix which was discovered underground. Through Museums Director General Dr Mzalendo Kibunjia, a team of archeologists had been dispatched to conduct a survey to try to uncover the mystery surrounding the concrete cross. But by the time of going to press, the archeologists were yet to arrive at City Market. Ever since the discovery of the cross slab, Kenyans have been throwing all manner of invectives at the city market discovery with some alleging that the cross was the work of a cult. City Market was constructed in the 1930s as a European-only market, and it is said that it resembles London’s Royal Horticultural Lawrence Hall which was built in late 1920s.
