A fire has once again razed stalls at the populous Gikomba Market early Saturday morning.

According to the Kenya Red Cross, response teams are currently at the scene.

This is the latest incident where part of the market has gone up in flames in what has come to be an annual worrying trend.

The market last year saw three such incidents.

The last one was in August last year, property worth more than Sh100 million was reduced to ashes at the market.

The Nairobi county government has on several sought to assure residents that the perennial fire problem comes to a stop.

It is currently building a market in the area to fix the problem.
