Nairobi County has announced that it will now arrest not only hawkers operating in illegal areas but also individuals buying goods from them.
Environment Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria said that the county is introducing a fresh crackdown to deal with hawkers operating in undesignated areas.
According to Mosiria, both hawkers and their customers operating in illegal areas will be arrested and taken to court. "We are stepping up enforcement efforts to ensure compliance.
Going forward, we will not only target hawkers operating in undesignated areas but also individuals buying from them, as they are aiding and abetting this illegality," he said.
