“We are very grateful to President  Samia Suluhu Hassan for her support and for bringing this market project to this area. This market will provide space for many more traders, increasing from the previous 580 to over 736. These improvements reflect changes in the working environment and create more business opportunities for people,” Makalla said.

Furthermore, Makalla instructed the Arusha City leadership to give priority to traders who were previously operating in the area once the market is completed. He also urged the contractor executing the project to ensure timely completion and to begin implementing other essential services at the market, including electricity and water, rather than waiting until the market is finished.
