School-related merchandise business operators in Kisii town have decried the significantly low sales of goods as schools reopen for first term. A spot check by KNA revealed that most of the traders were receiving small numbers of customers purchasing back to school items. Many of the clients approaching the traders only inquired about the prices, but ended up not purchasing the goods. “This year, there is very low turnout of customers compared to the previous years,” said Tom Ombogo, a school bag vendor at Kisii Central Business District. According to Ombogo, the low sale of goods witnessed among traders is due to the tough economic times, adding that most parents are struggling to feed their families. He added that despite most clients expressing the need to purchase back to school items, many of them did not have adequate funds for the same. One parent, Grace Kwamboka, who wanted to purchase a bag for her daughter failed to do so saying she only had Sh400 for the bag that cost double the price.
