Tharaka Nithi County Government has launched a project to construct a postmodern open-air market at Ndagani centre in Karingani ward to aid traders conduct businesses comfortably around the university area.

At a meeting held at Ndagani market proposed area, Karingani Member of County Assembly Mr. Godfrey Murithi Gaturo, ward administrator and the County Executive Member for gender, children and social services Ms Beatrice Kathomi, briefed residents on the construction of the market

Speaking with the residents during the meeting, the MCA said that the county government will consider traders who have been selling along the streets to reduce overcrowding in Ndagani centre.

He assured that all traders will receive fair treatment during commissioning of the markets, adding that they will get casual workers within Karingani ward to create employment for youths.

“I would like to assure you that no one will be left out because this project is ours,” he said.

The MCA stated that together with the county government they will ensure all minor roads connected to Ndagani are tarmacked when the market is complete.

The market is set to have a ground floor and a first floor to accommodate different types of sellers. Uniquely, it will also have a path for people living with disability and a day care for mothers with young babies.

On her part, the CECM for gender, children and social services Beatrice Kathomi promised to promote development within the ward and offer support until the project is completed.
