BREAKING Kamukunji Traders Join Hands to Chase Away County Askaris Over Harassment Issues, Watch How Chaotic it Was.

Kamukunji traders recently banded together to confront Nairobi County askaris, or enforcement officers, who have allegedly harassed them on multiple occasions.

The situation escalated into chaos as traders, frustrated with repeated harassment and extortion, decided to drive away the officers.

Many traders have long complained about the excessive force and brutality used by askaris, citing instances where their goods were forcefully confiscated or destroyed, which has significantly impacted their livelihoods.

This unrest among traders highlights the wider tension between informal businesses and county regulations.

Nairobi Deputy Governor James Njoroge Muchiri has acknowledged the traders’ concerns, pledging to address and reform the behavior of enforcement officers.

The county government has faced pressure to balance regulatory enforcement with humane treatment, as small-scale vendors play a key role in the local economy.

However, traders argue that past promises of reform have not led to meaningful change, leading to their decision to take matters into their own hands.

The Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, has also weighed in, advising counties to adopt a more supportive approach towards these traders.

He emphasized the need for a respectful working relationship between government entities and small vendors, warning county officials against taking excessive actions under pressure from larger businesses.

With both local and national leaders now involved, there are renewed calls for reforms to ensure fair treatment of traders while maintaining order in the bustling Nairobi marketplace.
