Scores of traders at the famous Machakos town 'mitumba market' were left counting losses yesterday night after an unexpected fire razed down their merchandise.
The fire, whose cause was not immediately established and which struck at around 11 pm on Sunday, is said to have caused havoc worth millions of shillings.
The second-hand wares normally in congested kiosks were completely razed to ashes before the response team of fire extinguishers from the Machakos county government arrived for action.
