Masinde Muliro Market standoff leaves traders counting losses

The standoff over access to the newly completed Masinde Muliro Market in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, intensified on Tuesday, with the county government and security agencies digging in over who controls entry to the facility. Caught in the crossfire are thousands of traders, still locked out of the market and counting mounting losses, with no clear indication of when they can finally move in and resume business.
