MP Tim Wanyonyi warns Sakaja against harassing traders

Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi has warned Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja against harassing Nairobi youths and destroying their small businesses.

Speaking on Friday in Parklands, Wanyonyi said it was bad to chase away small traders from their places of work without offering them alternative spaces to operate from.

“We will not accept it when the governor comes and destroys businesses here. Show them an alternative site, not just chasing them away from here and taking them nowhere,” he said.

He said that Sakaja knows Nairobi very well and he has the capability of directing business people to a specific place where they can operate from.

Wanyonyi said that together with other leaders, they are ready to work with Sakaja without considering party affiliations as he is the one in office at the moment and needs to serve all.

“We have no problem with the Governor. Even if I want that seat, he is the current governor but when it comes 2027, we will tell him you have failed, please go home,” he said.

And as he opened Crescent Road, he urged motorists to be careful and operate within the traffic laws so as to save lives and even maintain the road.

He urged traffic police to be on high alert as he warned motorists that they will face the law should they be found breaking any traffic laws.

On youth empowerment, the legislator encouraged the younger generation to seek and engage in meaningful business ventures instead of engaging in criminal activities.

At the same time, he donated a beauty package to a group of ladies operating a salon.

The equipment will be used by the colonists in improving their services and urged more ladies to seek resources to start such businesses.
