The Chipata Municipal Council says only government can control illegal street vending.

The Chipata Municipal Council says that it has limited control on the increase of street vending in the district.
Chipata Town Clerk, Ekani Chingangu told Breeze News that the increase in illegal vendors needs government intervention.
He says that the vendors who are at liberty to trade are difficult to control.
Mr. Chingangu says that the situation is different from Livingstone because of the just ended UNWTO which helped remove most vendors out of the corridors and streets.
