    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 52 (1), to make a Statement on a matter of general topical concern, namely the rampant fires that have recently ravaged markets in Nairobi, destroying property estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of shillings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Sunday, 11th June, 2023, at around 2 a.m., the Toi Market in Kibra Constituency went up in smoke, resulting in about 3,000 traders losing stock estimated to be between Kshs400,000 and Kshs600,000 for each trader. Cumulatively, the total loss from the Toi Market fire was over Kshs1 billion. Just two days later, on the night of Tuesday 13th June, 2023, Mutindwa Market in Embakasi West Constituency also went up in flames. In the Mutindwa incident, more than 800 traders lost property and stock worth a total of over Kshs100 million was destroyed. It is not far-fetched to fear that given this pattern, other markets in Nairobi will soon be next."
