@ratemoalvinResidents of Nyamira are alarmed at the huge number of children hawking wares along the streets. Some of the children told the Star they were working with permission from the parents to support their families' income. One child said he comes from a poor family of three where his mother, a casual labourer, is the bread winner. The Standard 7 pupil in a school within Nyamira town said hawking was his only way of getting some income for the family. Beavon Magare, a resident, said chiefs and their assistant should be held responsible for the cases of child labour.
