# Video: Natembeya Takes Different Approach in Trans Nzoia Market Dispute, Wins Praise From Kenyans

Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has attracted attention online after choosing
a different approach to the ongoing dispute surrounding the allocation of stalls
at Masinde Muliro Market.

The governor, who has been engaged in a war of words with President William Ruto
over development projects in the county, opted to engage affected traders instead
of confronting police officers deployed to the area.

In a video circulating online, Natembeya is seen meeting traders affected by the
reallocation of market stalls at his office, where he is discussing their concerns
and the way forward.

His decision has sparked reactions among Kenyans, with some praising him for prioritising
dialogue and seeking solutions to the traders’ problems.

The latest development comes amid growing political tension between Natembeya and
the national government over the management and ownership of key development projects
in Trans Nzoia County.

Natembeya has maintained that Masinde Muliro Market is a county government project,
a position that has placed him at the centre of the dispute surrounding activities
at the facility.

The disagreement has also drawn attention to the broader question of how development
projects are managed and how responsibilities are shared between county and national
governments.

While some observers might have expected the governor to directly confront the police
officers involved in the market operations, Natembeya instead chose to meet the 
traders affected by the changes.

The approach has earned him praise from supporters who believe that engaging residents
offers a more constructive way of addressing disputes.

The traders’ meeting could also provide an opportunity for the county government
to understand their grievances and explore possible solutions without escalating
tensions.

However, the outcome of the discussions and whether they will resolve the concerns
surrounding stall allocation remains to be seen.

The dispute highlights the growing political contest between Natembeya and Ruto’s
administration over development projects in Trans Nzoia.

As the disagreement continues, attention will remain on how both sides handle the
market dispute and whether dialogue can help ease tensions while protecting the 
interests of affected traders.
