MAKUENI LIGHTS UP MARKETS TO BOOST 24-HOUR ECONOMY

The Department of Energy has installed two flood masts in Kikumbulyu North Ward to enhance security and support businesses operating at night.

The floodlights, set up in Kathyaka and Athi Kiaoni markets, were commissioned by CECMs Eng. John Kieti (Water) and Eng. Peter Nyamai (Energy).

Market floodlights improve safety, extend business hours and create a more vibrant trading environment.

This initiative to light up markets aligns with Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr.’s plan to drive economic growth in local markets.

With a similar project launched this week in Kiunduani Market, the Thursday commissioning was attended by Kikumbulyu North MCA Jackson Mbalu, Governor’s Advisor Nzioki King’ola and Education Director Damaris Makau.
