Meshers, hustling in Kenya has become tough for everyone. Life is expensive and biashara isn't moving as it used to.

Seeing reports and videos of non-Kenyan traders, especially some Burundian vendors selling coffee and mandazis, being harassed is heartbreaking. If someone is waking up every morning to earn an honest living, they deserve to be treated with dignity, regardless of their nationality. Current public reports indicate that videos showing confrontations with foreign traders have sparked debate, although some details of the incidents remain unverified.

Competition in business is normal, but intimidation, harassment, or violence is never the solution. A stronger economy is built through fair competition, hard work, and respect for the law—not by turning against fellow hustlers.

As Meshers, let's promote biashara, unity, and humanity. Today's customer, vendor, or trader could be tomorrow's business partner. Let's support peace and let everyone earn an honest living.
