I have been checking out government efforts geared out towards the realisation of a 24hr economy and it saddens me to realise that on the contrary all govt effort is actually geared towards suppressing it.
With the coming of the 'Mututho' laws, one can only wonder who will be out working past 11pm since majority of the businesses operating out of the CBD and Industrial area at such hours are mostly FBCG related.
Very soon, the PSVs that operate on a 24hr basis in the eastlands area will have to resort to other 'tactics' in order to raise the extra revenue due to lack of customers.I am afraid to mention what will become of of the drivers, conductors and even the touts who man the stages at night, once they are rendered jobless.
Bars are closing down in large numbers as we approach April when the licencing process begins.Too bad the taxi and bodaboda operators are already feeling the pinch, more unemployment on the way.
Well, Eastlands get ready for the effects of resultant unemployment as more youth have just joined the jobless corner; am thinking of moving to Runda, a loan anyone?
Does it mean that only the bar business can drive a 24 hour economy?
