serve the business community. A key issue raised was the need for a fair, transparent and inclusive stall allocation process. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 64 Ultra-Modern Market is expected to significantly improve the trading environment by providing businesses with a more organised and modern facility. Its official opening is scheduled to take place during the Mashujaa Day celebrations, when His Excellency the President is expected to commission the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to providing physical trading spaces, the facility is also expected to support business growth, improve livelihoods, enhance the organization of trade and strengthen the city\u2019s commercial appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex
