Champions Market & Bus Terminus
Uasin Gishu County is one of the counties established by the Constitution of Kenya 2010. It is situated in the Rift Valley region of Kenya and covers a total area of 3,345.2 Km2. The County headquarters; Eldoret town is approximately 350 Km from Nairobi. Limited space in the existing market caused frequent conflicts and confrontations. There were over 4,000 traders against the 500 stalls at the market. The market was closed indefinitely following confrontations between county enforcement askaris and hawkers. The new market is expected to accommodate the increasing number of traders that had piled pressure on the existing market facilities. The proposed market will have split level parking and six storeys that will host different businesses. The market will have an installation cooling and packaging facility for packaging and value addition of fresh agricultural produce. Beautification will also be done around the market.
This as a new installment would provide major relief to traders in Uasin Gishu County as the town angles for city status. The project is expected to provide a conducive environment for traders in Eldoret town, as well as streamline the movement within the bus terminus. As the population of Eldoret has been growing at a steady rate, public infrastructure and facilities need to be upgraded to accommodate the higher demands.
Part of our proposal was a value additional zone that would be located next to the main market. It would improve efficiency of the market, while increasing the economic value of products for sale. This would in turn add value to the market and bus terminus. In addition, the value addition zone will contribute to Eldoret’s environmental sustainability and protect the river from pollution by safe disposal of waste products. The waste management systems include sorting for reuse, recycling, recovery and residual management.
