A section of hawkers Mombasa held a protest outside the Mombasa law courts on Wednesday after a yard they were operating form was demolished.

The hawkers claimed they have lost million of shillings following demolition.

“I have a wife and children to take care of. I don’t know what to do,” said Dickson Kai, one of the hawkers.

The yard situated along Mbaraki had been leased by Absal and Sons Enterprises Limited from  Kenya Railways Corporation .

A Mombasa based human rights lobby group Capital Youth Caucus Association has since taken up the matter.

CYCA secretary general Evans Momanyi on Wednesday said the almost 20 hawkers who store their wares at the demolished premises now have nowhere to go after their wares worth hundreds of thousands were destroyed.

“Some had taken loans from Fuliza, Hustler Fund and other places. How do you expect them to repay these loans now wihen their properties have been destroyed?” posed Momanyi.
