| traders and buyers in the market |
Muthurwa market is one of
Nairobi’s busiest markets with products ranging from clothing, utensils to
agricultural goods. It is located along Haile Selasie Avenue opposite to the
popular bus station ‘OTC.’
This market has suffered a great deal due to the accumulation of filth that results from the activities of traders and buyers. It is much worse during the rainy season as there is literally no place for trading.
During this time, the pathways
are impassible due to thick black stinky fluid. This leaves a lot of questions
as to the manner in which the daily business is conducted by these determined
Kenyans.

But why is this happening so and
these traders pay taxes to the City Council who come to collect the monies on a
daily basis? It is the high time that public health officers should shake up
things in this market.
It’s very disturbing that a ‘mama
kiosk’ is dishing out meals to an impatient customer whose hunger has blinded
him from seeing the pending health hazards around the hotel.
The most affected section of this
market is the agricultural goods segment as it deals with biodegradable
products. This dirt should be collected by the city council on a daily basis
as accumulation of it leads to a disharmony of activities in the market place.
The city council should tidy this
place considering the amount of taxes they collect on a single day and of
course in meeting their national obligation.
