A section of Kisii Traders have lamented vandalism and extensive destruction of their businesses following the violent Tuesday demonstrations.

Outside the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital, a group of small-scale female traders wailed uncontrollably after waking up to the utter destruction of their businesses.

The traders consisted of fruit vendors, plastic sellers and beverage traders.

Others were cloth dealers. They all found nothing on site but destruction.

The Star witnessed extensive vandalism and looting in most shops and eateries at the place.

A drug store was left a shell after suspected looters broke it and turned the shelves upside down during the anti-government demos.

By Wednesday morning, embers from wooden stalls were still shouldering on the road where police laid a barricade to forestall a planned arson on the street.

Further destruction was witnessed at the Capital Roundabout where a trader said he had lost hundreds of phones to suspected looters.
