Friday, January 10, 2025 - The Nairobi County Government has banned hawking in eight streets as part of its efforts to decongest the Central Business District (CBD), which has become overcrowded with hawkers selling various types of merchandise.
In a public notice issued on
January 6, 2025, and signed by Acting County Secretary Godfrey L. Khamala, the
county government said hawking will be allowed only from 4.00 pm in some
designated areas and not in the streets.
"Nairobi City County
Government hereby gives notice to all hawkers in the Central Business District
that hawking of merchandise will only be allowed on backstreets and lanes;
Monday to Saturday from 4 PM to 10 PM.
"The designated backstreets
are within the zone from Tom Mboya Street to Kirinyaga Road," read the
notice.
The county listed eight key areas
where hawking is now prohibited. These streets include Moi Avenue, Haile
Selassie Avenue, Kenneth Matiba Road, Latema Road, Ronald Ngala Street,
Mfangano Street, Hakati Road and River Road.
Additionally, the notice stressed
that all walkways within the CBD are strictly for pedestrians and not trading.
