Saturday, September 21, 2024 - Nairobi County Governor, Johnson Sakaja, has urged Members of the Kikuyu community led by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua not to interfere with the running of county affairs.
Speaking on Friday after Gachagua urged
Marikiti traders not to move to Kangundo Road, Sakaja said the move is
unstoppable.
The county boss condemned what he termed as
incitement of traders at the market by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, saying
the continued sale of wares by the roadside endangers the lives of the traders.
"To Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua I
say: If only you had taken your phone and called me as I had suggested, you
would have learnt a few things,” Sakaja said in a statement on Friday.
Sakaja said the move to relocate the traders
was reached in consultation with the farmers where he met the leadership of
Wakulima/Marikiti Market last week.
"We agreed on these and other measures
that will ease congestion in the market and improve the safety and welfare of
our traders and citizens,” he said.
Sakaja said city residents are all in
agreement that order must rein in the city and the leadership of the market is
in support of the move.
"Nairobi is a cosmopolitan global hub that will operate in an orderly manner. I can assure you of that.
"I know you
are dealing with other weighty and impending political issues. Keep the people
of Nairobi out of it," Sakaja said.
