The Mombasa government was wrong to demolish beach operators’ kiosks, Nyali MP Hezron Awiti has said.
The MP said the government should have provided the Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach traders with an alternative space.
Awiti addressed the traders on Monday when he toured the area.
The operators accused the county government of siding with a private investor, whom they accused of grabbing the beach.
“Instead of demolishing their structures, the county should have built proper premises for them,” he said.
North Coast Beach Management Committee chairman Eusephio Nyagah said they were under constant threat from the county inspectorate officers.
