On August 4, 2020, authorities in Kenya made a significant move to maintain public safety by banning mapassy, mahawker, and beggers from climbing manganyas.
The decision was made in response to concerns over the risks associated with these activities, which have been a long-standing issue in the region.
While the exact details of the ban are not yet clear, it is understood that those found violating the order will face severe penalties.
