Nakuru County leaders have been called upon to dialogue on ways of addressing hawkers' grievances. Speaking at the Old Town hall in Nakuru town, Deputy Governor Mr Joseph Ruto called on leaders to respect each other and solve the issue amicably. The Deputy Governor took issue with the protest that followed the recent demolition of illegally built kiosks in the area saying things should be done orderly. “We respect hawkers but we must do things in an orderly manner. Put up decent kiosks in areas that we agreed and we won’t touch them. But we won’t allow haphazard structures to return,” he said. Ruto explained that there was a committee that was mandated to issue kiosk space within town and had to be consulted. “There is no one person who can allocate you a space to put up a kiosk in town. No politician has that mandate and if you feel aggrieved my office and that of the governor are open to take your grievances,” added Ruto. The deputy governor was speaking as he opened the floor at the Old Town hall for dialogue on the county’s development agenda.
