Uasin Gishu County has intensified engagement with traders ahead of the official opening and stall allocation at the 64 Ultra-Modern Market, with transparency at the centre of preparations.
The County Department of Trade, led by Chief Officer Elphas Kesio and Director of Trade Nelly Jerotich, held an engagement forum with traders to discuss preparations for the opening.
The session addressed the stall allocation process, traders’ needs and expectations, and measures to facilitate a smooth transition into the modern market.
Additionally, the forum gave traders an opportunity to raise concerns and submit recommendations on how the new facility can best serve the business community.

A key issue raised during the engagement was the need for a fair, transparent and inclusive stall allocation process.
Consequently, traders urged the County Government to ensure that the online allocation process is conducted openly and equitably, giving all eligible traders an equal opportunity to secure space within the new facility.
Once operational, the 64 Ultra-Modern Market is expected to significantly improve the trading environment by providing businesses with a more organised and modern facility.
The official opening is scheduled to take place during the Mashujaa Day celebrations, when President William Ruto is expected to commission the facility.
