    "content": "We must agree that the dilapidated and pathetic state of markets is the cause of most of these diseases. The other day, I saw there was an outbreak of cholera. If you go to Gikomba and across many markets very early in the morning, you find women, men and young people waking up as early as 4 a.m. to use those markets. Most of these markets are very dirty with no running water. The sad state of affairs is that most of these markets do not have the proper design where they have even alleys of evacuation in case of fire. We have seen in a number of fire outbreaks at Nairobi’s Gikomba Market to be specific. This Petition is very timely. I hope that the County Government of Kajiado and other county governments will prioritize building of markets. As you are aware, the Kenya Kwanza Government, which is led by His Excellency the President (Dr.) William Ruto, has shown an indication that at least every city, including Nairobi and Mombasa, will get a storey building market because of limited space. In fact, at Kapsabet Market, which is in my county, there is no water, toilets and electricity."
