Street vendors in Nyeri County are protesting a proposed bill that could fine them up to Ksh10,000 or jail them for up to six months for illegal vending.

• A potential fine of up to Ksh10,000 or a jail term of up to six months for unauthorised street vending.
• Street vendors and the National Assembly Committee on Trade.
• Vendors argue the penalties are excessive given their daily earnings of Ksh500 to Ksh1,000 and that designated zones would harm their livelihoods.
