THAT, aware that Miraa is a key crop in Kenya whose trade across the City accounts for the employment of thousands of Nairobi residents; deeply concerned that unlike other crops and sectors of the Economy that have been allocated markets for their commerce, Miraa traders do not have a designated market for selling their wares; noting that several Associations including Miraa Traders and distributors Association, have written letters requesting that the County allocate a market to Miraa traders with minimal success; taking note that Miraa exports rank amongst the Country’s top ten exports with significant contribution to the GDP, for instance 20 tonnes plus of Miraa are exported to Somalia from Nairobi weekly, and to other local markets; recognizing that Miraa traders have suffered at the hands of enforcement officials from the County who often harass them for allegedly selling their wares in undesignated places; this Assembly resolves that the County Executive set aside a special market for the commerce of Miraa similar to markets for farm produce, livestock, apparel etc.
