The long wait by traders for completion of the multimillion Chwele modern market in Bungoma County might soon be over following accelerated construction works.
According to the project manager, Derrick Ngoya, they have already covered 68 per cent of the work at the Sh343 million project and the market could be completed sooner than expected. He has urged the over 1, 000 traders who have been pushing for completion of the project to be patient.
“This is one of the government projects under the Ministry of State Department and National Housing under the Economic Stimulus Project. Chwele market is a major project that is impactful to the community. So far, we are at 68 per cent and we are expected to hand over the project by November 2026,” he said.
