Nairobi Governor, Evans Kidero Cracks Whip On Hawkers

It never gets easy in a capitalist society, the poor get poorer as the rich continues to thrive.

 Barely two weeks have passed after Nairobi governor cracked whip on slaughterhouses, in fact according to the decree, no one was to slaughter a chicken unless they had been given the permit to  do so. A great many slaughter houses were closed down in a move that criticized by many. 

But was it in bad light? According to the memo from his office, the closure of the slaughter houses was in line with quarantining the cholera outbreaks that were rife in the country at the time. By only allowing certified slaughter houses to conduct operations;, it would reduce the spread of cholera considerably. Sensible? Yes. 

 Now, the latest developments go hard on hawkers. According to a  post on social media, hawkers are the prime reason why there is  so much congestion and littering on the streets.  Where, pray tell, will these  daughters and sons of the earth take their trade when their wings are clipped thus? 

Time will tell. Indeed, better city, better life.
