  Tenants of the ultra-modern shopping malls of the Mega City and Mega plaza situated along  Nairobi road and the prestigious Oginga Odinga street respectively, are up in arms against what they term exploitative rents.
 
  Talking to this journalist on strict conditions of anonymity, they claimed that the management of the twin malls under the tutelage of one Raj Sunil is charging them hefty fee in their respective shops.
 
  The fire spitting traders who vowed to default their contractual payment and subsequently take to the streets to demonstrate against the management, said that their relentless efforts to Sunil to renew the terms and conditions of their tenancy, has since fallen on deaf ears.
 
  Instead, Sunil who sources surrounding him say that he is an alien who dubiously acquired Kenyan citizenship is busy shuttling between the residences of illegal immigrants and immigration offices in a bid to see them registered as Kenyan citizens. 
 
  Adding that not even their plea to the proprietors Mithesh Shah and Deepak Shah has bore any fruit: “They are all arrogant to us! They are saying they have pocketed all the relevant authorities that can intervene!” said the aggrieved traders.
 
  Further, the disgruntled traders put on notice the duo owners of the magnificent shops to address their grievances promptly or risk their lethal wrath.
 
  “It won’t be business as usual!” thundered the businessmen who have promised to read the riot act to the malls’ management, soon.
 
  The traders move to paralyze the operations of this two gigantic business oufits, brings in sharp focus, the functions of the Kenya’s Rent tribunal department and what became of it.
