FOR MADARAKA. MARKET TRADERS, THE 'GITHUKÌ' HAS STARTED SPROUTING.
After clearing the debris yesterday afternoon, the traders woke up today to pick from where they had left before the fire incident. Even though business was below par, those we spoke to were very optimistic that they would rise up again and triumph. None was ready to bow down into giving up hope to walk again.
Majority of the traders were busy preparing their work areas in preparation for their next consignment. Others were busy trying to put up some temporary make-shift structures that would shield their perishable foods from direct sunlight.
All we saw were a determined lot that was not ready to surrender.
As the Thika Town Today team, we could only conclude one thing, 'Níkúrí na mwìhoko thutha mútì gútemwo tondú gìthukì nì gìthundúku' ( There is hope after the cutting of the tree for the stump has started sprouting).
