Gikomba

This time round, they have burnt the timber section.

I hope kuna insurance cover…

Hao watu huchoma saa ngapi mpaka hawaonekani? Inafaa mmoja akishikwa atupwe kwa hio fire ameanza.

Naona they work in cohorts with the night guards who are from bongolala land.

ijengwe na mtumba zinakuwa phased out soon

Sioni mtumba ikiwa phased out, the business employs so many people. And it also allows people to get clothes cheaply.

but we need a local textile industry, will also employ many people.
It’s a goal of EAC, it’s inevitable.

A local textile industry cannot compete with Bangladesh’s, India’s or China’s for instance. To be honest, Kenyan produced textiles can’t compete even locally, let alone in the global market.

And we still wondering why hawkers are on a stampede on their way to the CBD

Yeah because the industry was neglected and died, in the name of trade liberalization that brought in mtumba.
But it’s a near term plan to change that. Americans were on the news lobbying against this move.

You should know that at EPZs Kenyans make clads and @Miss Finest Wine buys them in London. Made In Kenya.
Once policy is drawn (aka protection of local textile industry) then mtumba will be killed.

we both know ‘soon’ can mean 54 years in Kenya. hata zikibaniwa it can be repurposed to decongest the cbd. Gikosh is quite a huge piece of disorganized land

:D:DKai ui kwaria gikuyu?

thindio? Gatii gaka kana urimu

Who said they are illegal
