Nairobi bans street vending in city center, moving vendors to backstreets amid protests.

Nairobi's government has banned street vending on main streets in the city's Central Business District, relocating vendors to backstreets and limiting hours to 4 pm to 10 pm on weekdays. The move aims to reduce congestion and maintain cleanliness but has sparked protests from vendors who say the new zones are overcrowded and unsanitary. Officials defend the ban, arguing it is necessary for urban order.
