Daraja Mbili Market Set For A Major Facelift
and Technology (JKUAT) to give Daraja Mbili Market a facelift. The market is the second biggest market
in Nyanza region after Kisumus Kibuye market. It attracts traders from as far as Tanzania every Sunday
and Thursday.
The facelift will involve construction of a flyover, parking space, modern stalls, retail and wholesale
components, washrooms and high mast floodlights among others. Modernising of the market will
increase employment opportunities and revenue while improving the livelihoods of both traders and
their clients.
Chase Bank will fund the project at Sh 400m while JKUAT will provide architectural designs.
