Nakuru county government has warned hawkers that they will demolish any kiosks erected in the county illegally.
Deputy governor Joseph Ruto cited that they only allowed hawkers to create descent kiosks of which no one will interfere with them. He accused local politicians of lying to farmers that they will give them kiosks and forced them to pay for it.
"I would like to warn all the hawkers that politicians dishing out plots to certain individuals are coning them. One has to go through the legal process of getting such a kiosk," he cited he assured hawkers who went through the legal process that they will eventually get the kiosk.
"Members of Parliament should stop interfering with the local matters and should instead concentrate on their roles in the national assembly. They should take the debate to parliament instead of interfering with our county. But i repeat that we shall demolish all the kiosks that were built by any illegal means," he added.
He cited a recent incident where a member of Parliament is suspected to have beaten up county inspectorate officers who were demolishing illegal kiosks erected in the town Central Business District. “Nakuru does not belong to certain individuals. It is for everyone. Local politicians should stop behaving like the town belongs to them,” he added
