[quote=wukan]The grand vision
for a slum-city
1.He promised that he would abolish the requirement for
mama mbogas, hawkers, and other small traders to acquire business permits.
2. He further said he would reduce land rates and eliminate any fee paid by the traders who operate from shades owned by City Hall.
3. City Hall would construct modern shades for small-scale traders and would not charge them a penny to use, unlike the current system where they are required to pay what is referred to us ‘goodwill’ that he termed steep.
4.Sonko has put together a team of technocratics and advisers who include lawyers, businessmen, and academics to compile his blue print, which he says will be launched soon.My manifesto is being worked on and we will outline the methods and the road map to transform Nairobi.
5. I only suggested that we shall devise alternate routes that may see some of the matatus turn at Uhuru Park and avoid entering the CBD. We have to design new routes to facilitate free flow of transport in the city and its environs.
6. We have a proposal on how to address the issue of hawkers verses shop owners. We use the Bangkok, Thailand model where we close specific streets and allow hawkers to sell their wares. This will be done on specific times say from 6pm to midnight and weekends. This will be done in consultation with the other traders and road users.
7. he will drill boreholes in all estates and start an ambitious slum upgrading programme in which his administration will construct low-cost houses.
