They are however asking the government to give them time, possibly three months before they are evacuated from the premises.
In an interview, one trader told the reporter that they would only move if given a place after the project is completed, if not, they will return to sell there.
“People sell on pedestrian footbridges everywhere in the world. We will start robbing if the government insists on evacuating us,” she told the reporter.
“We won’t come in the night, we will rob during the daytime for the government to see we are serious,” she continued.
