Chaos as police clash with traders at Marikiti

"We woke up to find Marikiti market gates under lock and key, and the police guarded the area. We don't want to be moved. We are asking the government to reconsider the decision because this is where we fend for a living," Joyce Wangari, a trader at Marikiti told The Standard.

Nairobi’s marikiti market or ‘Wakulima’ is one of the largest produce markets within the capital, home to at least 20,000 traders on any given day.
