Informal traders confront government

IN A joint statement released on Monday, more than 20 associations said they are concerned about the delays in the payments of the cushioning grants that were supposed to help vendors and informal traders.

“… We call on government through its relevant ministries to immediately release the cushioning fund as the situation is dire for many vendors and informal traders. We also call on government to state the proposed figures that will be disbursed.

“ In the same vein, the government and local authorities must consult/involve the informal sector representatives in decision making before they make resolutions that affect the livelihood of informal sector players since now 85 percent of the nation is in the informal sector.”
