Market earmarked for upgrading

Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has announced the upgrade of Myanga Market in Bumula Sub County to a modern market.

Speaking at St. Josephs Bukirimo Secondary in Kimaeti Ward on a development visit, Lusaka disclosed that his administration is committed to constructing modern markets.

“Modern markets enhance the flow of businesses and trading activities. For sustainability, we have laid structures for upgrading our major markets,” he disclosed.

He added that his administration has already put in place possible tax holiday regulations that have already been forwarded to the County Assembly for approval.

“We are introducing tax holidays to cushion our traders and boost their enterprises. The cost of living is high,” he stated.

Lusaka further assured residents that the county trade loan process is almost ready, urging them to plan adequately in readiness for the disbursement.

“Vetting for trade loan beneficiaries will take place to ensure eligible individuals and groups are awarded. Put your house in order,” he affirmed.

The governor committed himself to incorporating all subcounties into his administration, noting that none will be left out of the upcoming appointments.

“My administration is all-inclusive; we are creating balance to accommodate all,” he noted.
