A section of Gikomba Market in Nairobi was gutted down in a fire incident once again Wednesday.
The market has been facing a series of fires in past months with no clear cause of the same.
The fire comes barely two months after traders lost property of unknown value after night flames gutted several stalls on February 7.
Gikomba open-air market has suffered numerous fires that even caught the attention of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
On October 6, 2017, Mr Kenyatta ordered police to investigate the cause of a fire that destroyed property worth millions at the market on that day.
The biggest recent fire was in June 2018 that claimed 15 live and razed property worth millions at the Kwa Mbao section.
Five months later in November when a larger section of the market was destroyed in another fire incident, authorities blamed it on arsonists.
Governor Mike Sonko is constructing a market in the area in efforts to address the menace.
“The incident has displaced many traders from all over the country and investigations should be launched to find the culprits and action be taken against them,” he said then.
None of his directives to forestall future fires has ever been implemented.
Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko promised to form a multi-agency team to investigate the cause of the fire.
Nothing has ever been heard of it.
