Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has stepped in to help Toi market traders after a fire razed some stalls on Sunday.
In a tweet on Monday, Sakaja said his administration has evaluated the incident and is in the process of rebuilding the stalls for the traders.
“Traders at Toi Market have lost so much after last night's inferno. Poleni sana. We have assessed the damage and we will help you rebuild,” Sakaja said.
He added that they will provide food and material support to the families that were affected.
Further, he said that a road will be built for easier access of fire rescue emergency services.
“Glad that we have also agreed on creating access throughout the market as we rebuild. This will help emergency vehicles move easier when needed,” Sakaja said.
The fire that started on Sunday at around 2 am razed down properties worth millions of shillings.
According to the residents, they suspect that the fire could have started from a possible electrical fault.
However, the real cause of the fire remains unclear.
Fire engines from the county government arrived at the scene in an effort to try to put out the fire.
