For many informal workers in Kenya, earning a living also means paying for the right to do so. A motorbike taxi rider, a hawker or a small trader may be asked for money by a police officer or a county inspector. It is not a tax set by law, nor necessarily a fine for an offence. It is an informal payment that becomes part of the daily conditions of running a business. According to the World Bank, informal workers can lose up to 20 percent of their daily earnings this way.
