While I agree that pavements in a city centre should be easy to walk and clear of any kind of clutter, I also advocate for giving hawkers designated areas on very large pavements or squares. Not to sound too mzungu but I really like street vendors of all sorts. We have a lot over here in Europe but most are licensed and they have their fixed spot granted by the city council. They also pay a fee.
Here in Kenya, hawkers run away from paying fees, that's why some hawk in the streets, secondly Kenyan streets are not that broad and can't accommodate pedestrians and hawkers at the same time, thirdly, it's not like the hawkers don't have a place they can occupy, we have a market for them already
@@ubaachieng4668unlike many Kenyans who are heartless you have a heart and God bless you .The hawkers are everywhere and it looks bad but the government needs to create a space for them
streets look organized at least . would wish for complete replacement of those pavement a few flower pots, reduce noise pollution and it will turn into a decent city. hawkers are nothing but a menace am sorry Dolphine we all sympathize with hawkers but also the shop owners pay tax and need organized working environment to attract customers.
Good job by the Governor. There's no city anywhere that allows hawkers to roam all over the place. Sakaja should build for them markets in designated areas.💯
P. Igathe would have fixed our capital immensely. Choosing a mere politician in young Sakaja over a proven leader and executive was the greatest mistake voters committed to our city last year. As for now, shibeni uheuri wenu...nkt
Good job Sakaja, 100% support this. Honestly it's not the governor's problem where the hawkers go, that's a different issue altogether, just like it's not a landowner's problem where squatters go once evicted. The landlords and tenants are the rightful occupants of these spaces for which they pay dearly.
It is the governor's job, he told these same hawkers a few months back that they can sell their produce in the CBD, his word should therefore be his bond. He can't just wake up and change his mind like that unfortunately especially if he wants the voters to take him seriously. I'm all for law and order but also strongly believe that people especially those in a position of authority should be honourable at the very least.
Nonsense,this are Kenyan Citizens,Constitutional Rights Holders,their jobs are recognised Constitutionally,every single positive income generation activity is protected by the constitution, they pay tax as well,relocate them as the natural law demands.
There's no way out for them, the impunity they entrenched during Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta's time is over. We can no longer continue the ideas of Jomo Kenyatta's time, we have to change for the better. Next are those rowdy matatu's creating chaos in the CBD
Most hawkers have stalls in Muthurwa, gikomba and other markets, they come to CBD for quick money. Secondly Uhuru Kenyatta build a market at Riverside on your way out of town towards kariokor market, called Mwariro market, it has never been occupied. Thirdly the government should also consider those who are paying taxes, and county govt fees whose businesses have been affected. The govt is to blame coz of allowing hawkers to slowly take over the streets. Let the law and order take its place and we won't find ourselves in this precarious situation. Try to make a visit to Mwariro market, a market that can hold 3,000 traders. But it was politicised by then MP jaguar and these hawkers refused to occupy it.
Hawkers in cbd 'ni wakora' they were allocated whole muthurwa market they sold those spaces at throw away prices and were back in cbd as usual. They enjoy Tha game
The sustainable solution is to remove the matatus from cbd, the matatu stages create human traffic which attracts hawkers, without getting rid of the matatus nothing will change, hawkers will be back in a few weeks
West Africa is worse with their open air markets. The government needs to build markets for traders and farmers markets for food vendors, it's that simple. The pavements and sidewalks need to be paved as well with barriers that prevent cars from parking illegally in all neighborhoods just not in CBD. KEEP NAIROBI CLEAN!
I think there are markets but the hawkers don't want, or cannot afford, to sell there. Some of them probably buy from the !market and sell on the streets. I was thinking that they could build an upstair walkway on some of the walkways and only allow hawkers on the top part. They can also have city kiosks , of a beautiful permanent design, and put them in open areas where they will not impede traffic but those will not be enough for all the hawkers.
Sir please also evict those who are not doing the roads properly 'contractors' government who are not doing their jobs. ..no one should leave it there...in all Africa.
@@sarahgikandi4513There is a new market near Riverside as you head to kariokor..it's called Mwariro market built by Uhuru's administration. They refused to occupy it
Dolphine you need to get with afrikan traveller and wode Maya and working on plans to hold a afrikan diaspora business summit in Nairobi where afrikan investors abroad can meet and with local akrikan investors and the two can team up and make significant investment concerning manufacturing , mining infrastructure etc where people can be imployed throughout the conitent. Should be held 6 months to year from now. Just food for thought
Before they do that they need to solve all the corruption so investors can be sure that only bad business, not government corruption and interference will cost them. If the government could clean up its act, the economic progress would result in better pay for them, making stealing unnecessary.
No simpathy here. Huwezi kubalisha mtu auzie kwenye tu anataka. Thats disorder. What if everyone in Nairobi decide to start hawking in town, how will be the situation?
You all are forgetting that the British King Charles and Queen Camilla are hitting town Tuesday next week?? This is just temporary,,, they'll be back later, mark me.
Kumbe nairobi kuna nafasi kubwa tu ivi...but what if sakaja can relocate the busses At country bus na zipelekwe Ile stage ilitengenezwa huku uhuru park.... Niko sure hawa watu wanaeza toshea iyo place.... Ata iyo muthurwa market kuna places ziko empty.... Either way hawkers should not be allowed in the cbd bana...
The hawkers have to realised that sidewalks were made for the movement of pedestrians and not for selling goods. It will be better for the city if hawkers are not all over the sidewalks blocking movement, causing congestion and leaving their litters behind. The govt should have designated areas where the hawkers can sell their wares but they should also be responsible to keep those areas clean and organised.
No, hawkers are not tax payers, they do not pay taxes for the space they have illegally occupied to sell their wares. Shop owners are tax payers, not hawkers!
Just because somebody is poor and can’t afford to pay rental space to sell their wares, does not give them the right to become a nuisance to everyone else trying to go about their business.
Congratulations Mr Sakaja come back to your party Azimio I will vote for eny party you'll come with stand farm we people who voted you we're not hawkers or UDA. Even if there are uda person who voted you it was just a stray vote caused by the colour for these who normally go by wind.
The Central Business District (CBD), the bustling heart of our city, is in dire need of a comprehensive and ambitious rehabilitation programme. However, it seems that progress towards this much-needed transformation is moving at a snail's pace, leaving us with little hope for any significant changes in the near future. One cannot help but notice the lack of urgency and action from our esteemed representative, Sakaja, who has had an entire year to devise a well-thought-out plan for the CBD's revitalization. It is disheartening to witness his apparent negligence and disregard for the city's development. Now, as if to add insult to injury, we find ourselves in a situation where Sakaja is suddenly scrambling to address the impending visit of the King of England. It is difficult to comprehend how this event has taken precedence over the pressing matter of rehabilitating our CBD. In all honesty, this entire situation feels like an elaborate charade. It is a disservice to the citizens who have been patiently waiting for tangible improvements in our city's core. The lack of progress and the misplaced priorities are nothing short of disappointing.
@@Livhoodchibz That can only happen after an area has been allocated for them to conduct their businesses, it is crucial for the government to ensure that these individuals can continue earning a living. Unfortunately, there are currently no plans in place to support them in this regard. As a result, it is highly likely that they will return to their previous locations after a short period of time.
I didn't understand what the "mamas" were saying but overall, I think it is better not to have hawkers all over the place, it is safer for them and the public in general not to mention that it makes the city look good and eases traffic congestion. You often find an entire lane blocked by hawkers and cars and bodas having to driving around them. That said, the government should have planned better and evict them after they have found alternative locations for them since they were used to making money this way. I hope they can build them market areas soon so they are able to feed their children.
The Mama's were complaining about the eviction saying that hawking is their only source of income...thanks for watching and for your continued support 🙏🏾
Kumbe it is the hawkers that have been causing that people traffic jams? Your walk through looks so much more like what it should be. I use to think that there were just too many people in Nairobi. One thing, I heard that a lot of hawkers come from Kiambu and other nearby places. When you went to Thika, I did not see the same craziness there. I feel sorry, a little bit, for them for the business lost but the people who refused the bus parks like green park were wrong. If they could have provided them hawking spaces there, especially if there are several bus parks.
I'm sorry but I don't feel for hawkers. All of us voted for Sakaja, even us with white collar jobs. Everyone deserves a safe, clean city. We cannot give into the demands of hawkers and our city is looking like a slum
They'll comeback its like the way working class takes those vacation leaves only here sakaja forced them to take the leave coz they are overworking . 🤣
finding them an alternative place will not work, the streets is where their customers are. Muthurwa was built to relocate hawkers, did not work out. This is an issue with poor countries. it is either you ban hawking as a whole or allow them to operate. Rich nations with ample job opportunities and good economies do not have this hawking problem.

I support sakaja on this,,,, go to kisumu and see how clean and organized it is
Great work! WE ARE NAIROBI!

They have designated spaces that they ignore and opt for the streets. Enforcement without fear or favour is needed. Like bodabodas and touts!!
