Kiamaiko meat traders have ignored Nema directive to relocate from their filthy abattoirs to modern slaughterhouses in Njiru ward. The traders fear the relocation will lead to business losses. But this is not the first time the meat merchants are refusing to move out of their dirty location. In April 2018, the National Environment Management Authority closed all Kiamaiko slaughterhouses for violating health regulations. Eight months later in December, Nema gave Kiamaiko goat market traders one year to find an alternative site, condemning the popular market stalls as unsuitable and unhygienic.
