Hawkers who were evicted from the Nakuru CBD have decried of the poor working environment they have been subjected to.
Many have relocated to estates as they wait for the county government to complete construction of stalls off Jaramogi Odinga Avenue.
The hawkers say that they are facing many challenges in their bids to make ends meet.
John Mwangi who sells second hand cloths say that life has become tough following their forceful eviction last month.
“The eviction has brought our businesses to the knees,” said Mwangi.
He says that the relocation is yet to bear fruits because their customers cannot access them after they vacated the CBD.
“Getting customers is very hard .Sometimes we are not making even a single sale,” said Mwangi.
For James Bosire, a banana vendor, unless the county government hastens the completion of the construction of hawkers' stalls, life will be very difficult to bear.
“Getting food is an uphill task,” he says.
Bosire says that many hawkers may be forced to resort into criminal activities to put a plate of food on their tables.
On Saturday at Nakuru town, Governor Kinuthia Mbugua admitted that his administration erred in the forceful eviction and the county is considering relocating some hawkers at certain parts of CBD to boost revenue collection which has dipped greatly and to minimise the suffering of hawkers.
