Following public uproar after he tabled a Bill at the Nairobi County Assembly seeking the registration and regulation of handcarts, wheelbarrows, and other non-motorised transport, Kileleshwa Member of County Assembly (MCA) Robert Alai has responded.
Taking to social media on Thursday morning, Alai clarified that the installation of reflective number plates, as proposed in his Bill, would be completely free.
According to the vocal MCA, the number plates, which will follow a '047-XXX' format, are simply a way for the county government to recognise casual labourers. "047-XXX registration numbers and plates for Mkokoteni, wheelbarrow and trolley pushers will be given for free.
We just want to recognise the hustle," Alai stated.
