NMS, City Hall under pressure to tame askaris terrorising hawkers
A Nairobi City County Government Official from the City Inspectorate Department walks past a county vehicle transporting people arrested during Operation Clean the City on February 22, 2018.
The Nairobi South Ward MCA accused police of brutally attacking hawkers in the city instead of arresting and having them arraigned as is required by law.
Pressure is mounting on City Hall and Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) to rein in rogue city inspectorate officers manhandling hawkers in the city.
This comes just days after a hawker lost all his teeth, reportedly after he was handcuffed and assaulted by city inspectorate officers.
