The 145 traders whose properties were destroyed by a mysterious fire at the Nanyuki New Market on Saturday night have received a compensation of Sh 1.5 million from the Laikipia County Government as a start-up capital.
Governor Joshua Irungu said the financial package will boost the affected traders, as the county government puts measures in place to strengthen safety measures to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
He spoke when he met the market traders in his Nanyuki office, as the locals condemned the county government for failure to put in place effective measures to combat disasters when they struck.
