Malindi MP Willy Mtengo sits with a desperate trader selling pepper and mangoes at an open place when he toured the old market in the town on November 24.The traders at the Malindi old market are operating at an open area after the County government demolished the market three years ago but to date is not ready leaving traders to work in harsh conditions.
Traders in Malindi want the Kilifi government
to speed up completion of the Old
Market.
The traders say the
project has taken too long, forcing them
to work in the open and under poor
conditions.
On Saturday more than 300
traders protested against the three year
delay in completion of the market.
They said there are plans to allocate
stalls to people who did not previously
operate in the market.
