Kisoro municipal authorities will this week evict all street vendors working along Kisoro-Bunagana highway.
The Kisoro Municipality Mayor, Ndyana Richard, has confirmed this today. Affected vendors include those at Kisoro hospital, Kumudenge and those at old market to centenary bank.
He says that there has been a series of complaints from the ministry of trade, Kisoro district roads committee and tourists over street vendors being close to main roads which cause accidents and disrupt normal trading business and as well causing garbage in the Municipality.
Ndyana noted that street vendors mainly dealing in selling fruits should relocate to the available markets including old market, Rusiza Market and new market.
In response, the chair for Kisoro vendors Nizeyimana Silas said that vendors are not ready to quit their locations until the municipality finds them an isolated area where they can work.
He added that other markets are disorganized and have a mixture of goods sold in them.
