Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua renewed his rivalry with the Kenya Kwanza Government on Sunday, January 12, claiming that there was an ulterior motive behind the latest directive towards hawkers in the Nairobi CBD.
Gachagua spoke at AIPCA Dandora Parish in Embakasi North Constituency where he slammed Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja for imposing a ban on hawking along walkways within the CBD.
On January 9, the Nairobi County Government also warned hawkers against engaging in business along main streets and roads, which Sakaja 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.
