Suswa Traders Set for Relief as Market Nears Completion

Traders at Suswa shopping centre struggled for ages under harsh sun, rain, mud, plus dust that harmed their health. Many couldn't afford indoor spaces, leaving them exposed to weather that ruined their products. This nightmare ends thanks to the government building modern markets nationwide. The Suswa market stands 95 percent complete, part of ten markets promised for Narok County under President Ruto's BETA plan.

The facility includes ramps for elderly plus disabled people, a lactation room, ICT hub, social hall, and cold storage for fresh goods. It features a massive water tank, kitchen, and eatery that helps farmers sell products. This project from the Housing Department gives local women traders fresh hope. These hardworking ladies expect better business conditions with dignity, planning expansion through hustler fund loans.

The market helps over 200 small traders transform their lives with stability. Government spokesperson Mwaura said officials deliver on promises, urging support for Ruto's plans. Locals like Pauline Teka found security jobs at the construction site, earning money for her kids without previous hardships. Another resident, Pauline Karanja, bought a water tank from her earnings, starting a water business in her village.
