Nairobi has fallen. Open drainages, broken walkways, dirt on the sidewalks, potholes on every road, it looks like a city at war. This is not an accident. It is the result of Sakaja’s failed leadership and the total collapse of basic city management. Since this fool came into office...

Today, in a continued effort to restore order in our city and curb illegal dumping, I led an operation to remove hawkers who had shifted from the CBD to the outer edges of Uhuru Park completely blocking both sides of the walkway. This move follows inciteful remarks made by the Embakasi East MP, who encouraged hawkers to occupy CBD walkways and public spaces under the guise of being poor and trying to earn a living. But since when did poverty become a license to break the law? If you visit cities like Kisumu, you won’t find hawkers occupying walkways, blocking pedestrians, or dumping garbage everywhere. Why, then, is Nairobi expected to tolerate such disorder? Why do some leaders and citizens glorify impunity and normalize illegality, forgetting that where there is disorder, criminals thrive stealing from innocent pedestrians and turning our city into a place of fear? If we are truly committed to transforming our systems and embracing good leadership, we must support government officers who are doing the right thing. We cannot keep justifying illegality by using poverty as a sympathy card. Being poor should not be an excuse to disregard the law. I was insulted, harassed, and embarrassed last Friday by hawkers who were doing business but at the wrong place. They blocked walkways, made it difficult for pedestrians to move, and disrupted shop owners who pay rent, permits, and taxes to operate while hawkers don’t pay rent nor business permits and yet they block customers from accessing shops of those who rightfully pay rent . This unfairness cannot be ignored. If standing for the right thing is what some call harassment of the poor, then let me be that 'bad person' because one day, Nairobi will look back and celebrate those who stood firm for order, justice, and sanity in our city. What I am doing is not new to the people of Nairobi; it is firmly grounded in the laws and regulations of the Nairobi City County Government. 🔹 Nairobi City County Solid Waste Management Act, 2015 prohibits illegal dumping and unregulated activity in public spaces. 🔹 Nairobi County Outdoor Advertising and Public Nuisance Act prohibits obstruction and public nuisance in walkways. 🔹 Nairobi City County Trade Licensing Act forbids trading in areas not officially designated for hawking. Let’s stop making excuses. Let’s enforce the law. Let’s build a cleaner, safer, and more dignified Nairobi for all.
