How do you feel about the new Nairobi CBD without hawkers??
The Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) has begun to transform following the January 6 directive prohibiting hawking in specific areas of the city. Nairobi County Secretary Godfrey Akumali stated in the notice: “Hawking is prohibited on main streets and roads, including Moi Avenue, Haile Selassie Avenue, Kenneth Matiba Road, Latema Road, Ronald Ngala Street, Mfangano Street, Hakati Road, and River Road.” Previously congested pavements and streets, many of which had been turned into informal markets by hawkers, are now cleared and accessible.
