Doha: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) oversaw an inspection campaign of street vendors in Azab Complex, Abu Nakhla.
The drive aims at ensuring that street vendors adhere to the provisions of the Law No. (5) of 2015 on commercial, industrial and similar public shops, and street vendors as well as their commitment to Ministerial Resolution No. 243 of 2016 on the licensing requirements and regulations to engage in street vendor activities. This inspection campaign resulted in the issuance of seven violation reports against a number of street vendors for practicing their activities without commercial licences. The violators were referred to the relevant authorities for legal action to be taken against them.
The inspection campaigns come as part of the ministry’s efforts to monitor the degree of compliance with laws and regulations governing commercial activities in a bid to uncover and deal with violations and infringements.
