Hawkers have flooded back into the CBD barely two months after police launched a much-publicised crackdown on vendors. The hawkers have occupied their usual streets Tom Mboya, Moi Avenue, River Road, Lithuli Avenue and Lagos Road. Hawkers, street children and youths were arrested and charged with loitering, obstructing pathways, causing a nuisance and petty crimes. “The crackdown started on a wrong footing because the county was only involved when the money was needed. They include Karindini Market in Dagoretti, Mwario Market, Muthurwa, Uhuru Market along Jogoo Road, Wakulima Market and a retail market in Kangundo Road.
