Mvita Mp Abdulswamad Nassir has come to the rescue of small scale traders locked out of the Mama Ngina Waterfront and the Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach 'Pirates'.

On Tuesday Nassir petitioned the National Assembly for the reopening of the two public utilities arguing traders have been suffering due to their closure.

The waterfront and the public beach were closed in adherence with restrictions to contain the spread of Covid-19.

"These traders have been heavily affected by the closure. They cannot even provide for their families. Let us consider them" said Nassir.

In his petition, Nassir accused the authorities of favouring other businesses which have since been allowed to operate, in the expense of the small traders.

The Mp wants the National Assembly through the Trade committee to engage the relevant authorities on how the two public spaces can be reopened.
