Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Nairobi county government has invited members of the public to give their views on hawking within the city\u2019s Central Business District.<\/p>\n

In a gazette notice dated October 14, 2022 , Nairobi county secretary Jairus Musumba invited all interested parties including the hawkers to give their views in scheduled meetings.<\/p>\n

“In this respect, the Nairobi city county government invites interested stakeholders for public participation and consultation on informal trading within Nairobi CBD,\u201d Musumba said.<\/p>\n

He said the consultative engagements will be held on the 3rd and 4th of November at City Hall\u2019s Charter House.<\/p>\n

Consumer associations, special interest groups, community-based organizations, business owners within CBD, private and public sector representatives have been invited to be part of the public participation meetings.<\/p>\n

During campaigns, governor Johnson Sakaja pledged that he would prioritise addressing the plight of hawkers in the city.<\/p>\n

He assured the business community in Nairobi that he would bring to an end the hardships they experience in the course of their work.<\/p>\n

Hawker menace in the CBD has been a problem that the previous county regimes failed to decisively deal with.<\/p>\n

It was a weak link that critics used to highlight administrative failures of the past county regimes.<\/p>\n

With Sakaja at the helm, the hawker menace is still a big headache particularly in the evening when the traders occupy all the walkways leaving pedestrians to battle it out with vehicles on the main streets.<\/p>\n

This causes confusion and traffic congestion.<\/p>\n

First city governor Evans Kidero blamed what he called cartels at City Hall for the hawker menace.<\/p>\n

He accused former Councillors and MPs of pushing for their return to the CBD every time the county government pushed them off the streets.<\/p>\n

His successor Mike Sonko promised to organise hawkers within the first 100 days of his administration.<\/p>\n

The plan was to register all the hawkers, small-scale business owners and traders with a view to recognise, protect and enable them to operate in the city.<\/p>\n

The strategy backfired and hawkers have ever since remained an eyesore and a permanent fixture on Nairobi streets.<\/p>\n
