Governor Bii Hails Progress of 64 Market as Transformation of Uasin Gishu’s Trading Landscape
Uasin Gishu County Governor Jonathan Bii has expressed excitement over the impressive progress of the ultra-modern 64 Market, which is poised to revolutionize the trading landscape in Eldoret and provide an advanced business environment for thousands of traders.
Once completed, the state-of-the-art 64 Market will feature modern stalls, specialized areas such as lactation rooms, and other innovative amenities that will enhance the experience of over 10,000 traders who will conduct business in the heart of Eldoret town. Governor Bii, who has been closely monitoring the project’s development, emphasized its transformative potential for both local traders and the city’s economic growth.
“We are excited to see the significant progress of the 64 Market, a project that will redefine how trade is conducted in Eldoret and beyond. This market is not just a physical space; it is a catalyst for economic growth, a platform for small-scale entrepreneurs, and a space where innovation meets commerce. The state-of-the-art facilities will ensure that our traders can operate in a safe, conducive, and modern environment,” said Governor Bii.
Governor Bii noted that the new market is designed to cater to the diverse needs of traders, with features such as high-quality stalls, ample parking, clean sanitation facilities, and easy access to power and water. The inclusion of lactation rooms reflects the county’s commitment to supporting mothers and ensuring that they have the necessary facilities to balance their work and family life.
“The 64 Market will not only enhance the aesthetic and functional appeal of our town but will also foster a new sense of pride among traders and residents alike. By providing traders with an organized, modern environment, we are enabling them to improve their businesses and contribute to the growth of our local economy,” the Governor added.
Construction at the site is progressing rapidly, with the new market expected to be fully operational in the coming months. The project is seen as a critical part of Governor Bii’s vision for transforming Eldoret into a modern, business-friendly city that attracts investment, supports local entrepreneurs, and enhances the livelihoods of its residents.
In addition to its economic impact, the 64 Market is also expected to address the challenges faced by traders in the old markets, including overcrowding, lack of basic amenities, and inadequate space. The new facility will provide a safer, more organized space for business transactions while promoting hygiene and sustainability through environmentally friendly infrastructure.
The project is part of Governor Bii’s broader strategy to revitalize urban spaces in Uasin Gishu County and ensure that the county remains a leading hub for trade, innovation, and enterprise in the Rift Valley region.
“We are creating a future where our traders can thrive, where our city can attract investment, and where our people can access world-class services right here at home. The 64 Market is a key part of this vision, and we are proud to see it take shape,” Governor Bii concluded.
As the construction work progresses, the anticipation around the 64 Market continues to build, with traders and residents looking forward to its completion and the positive impact it will have on the county’s economy and the community at large.
