Deputy President William Ruto has said that the government has set aside Ksh3 billion to rebuild the Gikomba market that burnt down in June.
Ruto was speaking on Sunday at the AIPCA Kayole Church, where he promised that the fires at Gikomba Market would now be a thing of the past.
“We have to stop these incidences of fires ever year, that is the reason we are investing Sh3 billion,” said Ruto.
