Nairobi City Council 'owned' kioks
To stem the ever-running battles between the NCC on one hand and the kiosk owners and hawkers on the other, wouldn't it make sense if NCC could construct the kiosks itself (on the road reserves) and rent them out so that on the day when they want to carry out evictions, all they would need to do is to issues notice as landlords and then have the rest follow. In fact, this way, NCC would be collecting more revenue from the kiosks while at the same time stemming illegal encroachment of road reserves. Aestheticity of the city in the sun would also be restored. I'm not sure whether this was one of the many proposals that was contained in the 'Nairobi we want' way back in 1992-93 but it would be useful, if the NCC could start looking at the kiosk issue in this light.
