Business operations within Murang\u2019a town are back to normalcy after announcement of president elect by the IEBC.<\/p>\n

KNA conducted a spot check and found that shops and other business premises that were closed for the majority of the election period were now open. Customers slowly flooded in to purchase merchandise.<\/p>\n

Peter Wanjohi, who owns a Mukuyu open-air market grocery, lamented the loss he suffered for a period about five days. He said there was tension before IEBC announced their presidential winner.<\/p>\n

He praised local residents for keeping peace and said that he was back in business where he gets his livelihood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI depend on my grocery and for the days my business remained closed, I could rarely get food for my children. We hope peace will prevail despite some politicians threatening to move to court to protest the election results,\u201d stated Wanjohi.<\/p>\n

Richard Ndirangu, who owns a hardware store, hopes that the construction industry will soon return to normalcy after decrying the low sales during electioneering.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the last week I have made very few sales. We hope that the situation will return to normal and that those involved in construction can resume their work. This will give us an opportunity to sell our merchandise,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Wednesday was Mukuyu’s market day. Traders continued to operate as usual, calling the appropriate county department to clear up the garbage that had been piling up.<\/p>\n

John Mwaura (a local trader) observed that no one has taken the time to dispose of the garbage since the election. Solid waste poses a risk to their health and could lead them to contracting disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cElections are over and we appeal to relevant departments to clean our market. Many people depend on this market but it\u2019s dirty, garbage is piling up almost at every corner of the market. I believe civil servants are supposed to continue with their work despite the governance transition,\u201d posed Mwaura.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a group of Christians and clergy gathered in Kenol town to pray and ask for peace. The church leaders urged those who were not satisfied with the election results, to seek legal remedies rather than inciting their followers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to call for peace, those who are not contended let them pursue legal measures and ensure they advise their followers to maintain peace. This country needs to move forward peacefully so as to give time for our economy to rise again,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
