Additionally, the president has directed roads and transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen to set aside Kshs 400 million for an ultra-modern market in Ruaka, and another Kshs 200 million for the construction of the Kiambaa, Ndenderu, Muchatha and Karuri markets at Kshs 50 million each.

Kawanjiku said that public participation for the project was set to take place in the coming weeks to comply with the legal provisions before embarking on the project.

Kawanjiku also defended the President's trips out of the country saying that it was in such trips that the President managed to secure funds and development partnerships to develop the country.
