The revival of the market will not only create more space for traders but also increase business and in consequence revenue compilation for the county, as well as create employment for the residents.
Kamunyaro Market is known from the ancient days as one of the oldest and biggest market which started in the early 1980s. The market attracted many traders since the Eastern Produce company used to pay tea farmers at their factory and Kamunyaro was the closer market.
