The delay of decentralising licensing to subcounty levels as well as harassment from the inspectorate department are among challenges facing the trade sector in Nairobi. This is according to a brief on the County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022 which says the county's trade sector needs to be addressed and mitigated. In reference to the Annual Development Plan of Nairobi, the achievement collection of revenues under the trade sector under-performed with more than Sh1 billion. Speaking to the Star yesterday, Trade CEC Allan Igambi said defaulters are to be blame for the poor performance. On decentralization of licensing to Sub county level, Igambi said it will be a long term solution and hence improve the the performance of the trade sector within Nairobi.
