Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja bans hawking on side-walks and roads within the CBD

Governor Johnson Sakaja bans hawking in Nairobi CBD in a move to restore order and sanity. He made the orders following a consultative meeting between inspectorate officers and representatives of hawkers.

Speaking on Wednesday, Sakaja stated that there will be no hawking activity along the aforesaid lanes since there is a deliberate plan to revamp operations on the street.

“From Tom Mboya coming up to Moi Avenue we will have no hawking and street business there because we have a plan on that road where we receive billions from investors,” he said.

“I was in Paris and we are doing BRT. We are going to expand that road to be walkable because I am not just taking care of you I am also taking care of Kenyans who are walking those who own shops they are also taxpayers.”
