No hawker will be allowed in Nairobi county central business district as from Thursday morning in a move to restore order and sanity in the county’s capital
Governor Johnson Sakaja has made the orders following a consultative meeting between inspectorate officers and representatives of hawkers.
Sakaja has asserted that the move is aimed at reimaging the town in a more respectable and standard way that will map the city globally
He has announced that all inspectorate officers will have to undergo refresher training on how to handle people during operations
The Governor also stamped authority and said all officers on duty should be in uniform.
Sakaja explained that without uniforms the officers might not be taken seriously and might also be mistaken for impostors who are out to deceive the public.
He also emphasized that all officers will be designated specific areas to operate which will help to spot the officers sleeping on duty or those who will break the law.
The meeting was prompted after the latest incident which occurred last week when a woman by the name of Gloria Ntazoia went viral for taking a Kanjo askari for a ‘ride to nowhere’ after he allegedly entered her car without consent.
