The Kamukunji MP, Yusuf Hassan, has accused city askaris of harassing traders in Eastleigh and Gikomba. Hassan claims the officers are making arbitrary arrests, intimidating traders, and destroying their goods. He has called for an end to the harassment.

Hassan’s allegations come amid growing concerns about the treatment of small businesses in the area. According to local reports, traders have been subjected to frequent inspections and detentions without clear legal justification. Some have reported their goods being damaged or confiscated during these encounters.

This is not the first time Hassan has raised concerns about the conduct of city officials. In previous statements, he has criticized the lack of transparency and accountability in the operations of local authorities. The situation has sparked discussions among community leaders about the need for greater oversight of law enforcement activities.
