The Nairobi County government has issued a notice to hawkers regarding the sale of their merchandise in the heart of the Central Business District.
In a statement signed by Governor Johnson Sakaja, the county government imposed a ban on hawking along walkways within the CBD.
Furthermore, hawkers were warned against engaging in business along main streets and roads, which the county government insists are meant for pedestrians and not for trading.
Sakaja specifically listed Moi Avenue, Haile Selassie Avenue, Kenneth Matiba Road, Latema Road, Ronald Ngala Street, Mfangano Street, Hakati Road, and River Road as areas that are off-limits to hawkers.
