General Manager Florens Seiya said the project would cost 42bn/-. Once expanded, the market’s capacity will
increase five-fold, he said.
Mr Seiya told the 'Daily

their interest in constructing the market and that the administration in
collaboration with other stakeholders was working on the applications to come
up with a single qualified and competent investor.
He said after getting an investor, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
would be signed ready for the project to commence.
“Our intention is to enhance service delivery by expanding the space
for businesses,’’ said Mr Seiya.
