EAC FAO Tegemeo Institute discussion on Kibuye Market Transformation

                     

County officials stated that they were taking bold steps to bring order and fairness to local markets through the development of a new Market Regulation Policy and Market Management Bill, aimed at protecting consumers, wholesalers, and retailers. They emphasized that these frameworks were essential for the effective governance of markets across the county and would support the planned transformation of Kibuye Market into an ultra-modern "Jumuiya Market," as recognized by the East African Community. During a meeting with representatives from the EAC, Tegemeo Institute (Egerton University), and the FAO—led by FAO Country Representative Hamisi Williams—it was reported that interim findings had been presented on integrating nutrition criteria into wholesale market investments. Officials noted that this input would help guide healthier and more sustainable market development. They also mentioned that the County Minister of Trade, Farida Salim, and Deputy City Manager, Charles Omollo, were present to demonstrate the administration’s collective commitment to these critical initiatives.
