Kilifi Governor Gideon Mung'aro on Wednesday, February 5, gave traders and transport operators a 30-day ultimatum to relocate their businesses from the roadside to allocated spaces or face the full arm of the law.
Through the Department of Environment, the governor warned of revocation of licenses to those who do not comply with the fresh directive. "This is a warning.
We are giving a one-month notice that if you, as a businessperson, are conducting your business on the roadside while they know very well there is a dedicated market, we do not care if you are licensed or not licensed.
As the Department of Environment we will revoke your license without you knowing," stated Flora Mbetsa, Kilifi's deputy governor. "Therefore, I want to urge all the business people of Kilifi, if you know you are conducting your business on the roadside contrary to the law, you have one month to plan accordingly," she added.
