Johnson Sakaja face the wrath of angry Toi market traders

Angry traders, their livelihoods reduced to ashes after a devastating fire ravaged Toi Market in Nairobi, directed their fury at Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, driving him away from the scene in a dramatic confrontation.

Governor Sakaja, who had arrived to express his sympathy and assess the damage, was met with hostility instead of gratitude.

Traders, seething with frustration, hurled stones at him, forcing his security detail to shield him from the onslaught and escort him to safety.

The inferno had consumed property worth millions, leaving the traders destitute and desperate.

Many blamed both the national and county governments for their slow response to emergencies like this and criticized the lack of a robust safety framework that might have prevented such a disaster.

In a small relief amidst the chaos, it was reported that, miraculously, no one sustained injuries or fatalities in the blaze.

The traders’ anger, however, remained as fiery as the flames that had destroyed their stalls, fueled by the loss of their hard-earned investments and the government’s perceived inaction.
