In a significant step towards enhancing infrastructure and promoting sustainable energy solutions in the Manyatta constituency, Hon. Gitonga Mukunji has officially commissioned the construction of a Solar Powered High Mast (Mulika Biashara) at Kibugu Market. Standing at an impressive 98 feet, this high mast is the first of its kind to be constructed in the country under the auspices of the Ministry of Lands, Housing, Urban Development, and Public Works.

Enhancing Market Safety and Visibility

The installation of the solar-powered high mast will play a crucial role in ensuring proper lighting within the market. Improved visibility will enhance safety for vendors and customers alike, creating a more conducive environment for trade and commerce. This initiative aims to promote economic activities in Kibugu Market by allowing for extended trading hours and attracting more visitors.

Cost Savings Through Sustainable Energy

One of the key benefits of this solar-powered solution is its ability to reduce electricity costs. By harnessing solar energy, the high mast will significantly decrease reliance on traditional electricity sources, leading to substantial savings for the market. This aligns with our commitment to sustainable development and responsible resource management.

Expansion Plans

In addition to the Kibugu Market project, construction of similar high masts will commence at Kithimu and Kiriari Markets as part of the first phase of this initiative. This expansion underscores our dedication to improving infrastructure across the Manyatta constituency and ensuring that all markets benefit from enhanced lighting and safety.

A Vision for the Future

The commissioning of the solar-powered high mast at Kibugu Market marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to transform public spaces and promote sustainable practices in our community. Hon. Mukunji expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “This initiative is a testament to our commitment to improving the quality of life for our residents while promoting sustainability. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter and safer future.”

Conclusion

We are excited about the positive impact this project will have on the Kibugu Market and the surrounding community. As we move forward with the construction of additional high masts, we invite all stakeholders to support our efforts in creating safe, well-lit, and vibrant market spaces across the Manyatta constituency.
