Gospel maestro Daddy Owen has called for an immediate end to the perennial fires at the Gikomba market.

This comes after another fire broke out at the vast market, razing down everything that it got its ways thanks to the congestion in the market.

Gikomba is synonymous to infernos year in year out and all this is attributed to the manner in which the market is congested to the full.

The singer is now demanding that something must be really done to avert these troubles that hit traders every year, leading to massive loses.

He went on to reveal his association with Gikomba, saying that he owned a stall there and every day they lived in fear of a fire break out.

The singer has sympathized with the traders who lost their property in the inferno.

He said:

• daddyowenThis gikomba fire story every year should stop! I remember before I started singing I had a kibanda thea. . n kila siku ilikua tu wasiwasi. .. saddening! Poleni watu wangu. .
