The malls are suffocating smaller businesses competing for the same finite customer base and dwindling population incomes.
Malls or supermarket chains have one effect and that's to kill small and medium big business by vacuum cleaning everything rendering them unprofitable. They have already done that increasing unemployment and changing the shape and image of the rural areas.
For example if you look at milk production the more milk produced the less money in the pockets of the farmers. That is because the chains link up with the big milk companies to squeeze the farmers, pay them very little while ensuring their monopoly denies the farmers a way out. We've seen vegetable farmers in Limuru condemned to poverty even as prices of their stuff increases in Nairobi. Mama mbogas cannot compete with the big chains. Potato growers are so heavily indebted yet can't escape their slave contracts with the mob organized by the big chains.
All this as jubilee sings songs of growth.
