On Thursday morning, traders in Gikomba Market woke up to counting losses as property of unknown value was razed down in a f**e early morning for the umpteenth time.
According to traders, the f**e burnt parts the mitumba (second-hand clothes) and cereals sections with questions starting to emerge about the faces behind the f***s at the market.
This boards another b**w to the traders who were already battling with the ban on imported second-hand clothes meant to contain the spread of COVID-19 while the p******c itself has led to diminished sales.
The f**e department arrived on the scene and salvaged what they could before turning their attention to assessing the damage caused and try to establish the cause of the f**e.
However that could be easier said than done as f***s in Gikomba have now become the norm averaging at least one huge f**e in the last few years.
In February, property of unknown value was reduced to ashes with the f**e burning down shoe and clothing stalls.
Conversely, in 2019, three separate f***s razed down property worth millions attracting the attention of Kenyans to the f***s with many suspecting foul play.
The last i******t took place in August when property estimated at Sh100 million was reduced to ashes.
Nairobi County governor Mike Sonko then said that building a market would be the solution to the perennial problem.
