East African neighbours have taken over hawker jobs in Nairobi's urban areas

Jobs that can easily be done by Kenyans are now being taken up by foreigners, especially from Burundi, Uganda, and Tanzania.

It is not strange to walk into a barber shop where a Burundian national is waiting to give you a haircut and once done with the shave, a Ugandan barmaid is at your disposal at the local pub frequented by Tanzanian hawkers displaying their wares.
