"The issue of the market, we will build a new one, and it will be bigger so that you don't keep fighting over the space for the smaller one," President Ruto said. Earlier, Governor Bii had noted that over 4,000 traders have been fighting over the market, causing regular push and pull between them and the enforcement officers.
