On May 9, 2020, the authorities in Eastleigh and Old Town Mombasa took a significant step towards maintaining order and cleanliness in these areas by banning street hawking.
According to a video posted on YouTube, the move aims to prevent the spread of diseases and maintain a safe environment for residents and visitors alike.
While the ban may cause inconvenience to some vendors, it is hoped that it will ultimately benefit the community as a whole.
