In a broader strategy to restore order in Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD), the county government has announced new major measures it plans to implement.
To ensure the CBD remains free from noise pollution, the county has deployed askaris to arrest matatu touts and kamageras who shout and create disturbances while attempting to persuade customers to board their vehicles.
Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment, Geoffrey Mosiria, issued a stern warning to the touts and kamageras, urging them to cease their disruptive behaviour in the city. "We have strategically stationed our county askaris so that they can arrest those making noise in town, including matatu touts and kamageras shouting along the streets," Mosiria explained.
