As President William Ruto travels across the country to launch new markets, many facilities that have consumed billions of taxpayers’ money are deteriorating.

Some of these markets, which were commissioned nearly a decade ago, are either in ruins or remain incomplete.

The Saturday Standard has established that while several markets have stalled, others were vandalised, raising concerns about continued taxpayer investment in these projects.
