Gikomba Market Fire Kills Two, Devastates Nairobi Traders

The blaze broke out around 4 a.m. Sunday near the fish section, killing one man and one woman while injuring 17 with smoke inhalation and burns.

Nearly 90% of open-air stalls in Blocks B and C burned, destroying goods worth millions of shillings in Kenya's largest second-hand clothing market.

 Governor Johnson Sakaja promised no evictions and a trader count for recovery aid, as leaders like MP Yusuf Hassan urged President Ruto for immediate help amid questions over response delays and past unexplained fires.
