Hawking remains a thorn in the flesh for city askaris

They are virtually everywhere. On the pavements and outside Nairobi’s major shopping malls, displaying their wares which include the latest electronic goods, garments, clothing and the latest trend in ladys’ wear that could put London’s Servile Row to shame. On the streets posing at the footpaths as if eagerly waiting for something, they peep through your car window sticking out their gadgets, hoping that you will at least give them a chance. They force you into impulse buying. They do not give you time to speak. And, while some consider them a menace and others severally refer to them as an avenue for cheap and easy to get goods, they care  less about what one thinks, since all they mind is how they will get their daily bread.  These are the hawkers of Nairobi city where everyone is busy and minding their own businesses.
