Azimio spokesperson Makau Mutua has said China Square ought to be done away with.
Mutua on Monday said the existence of Chinese shopping mall will harm Kenya's economy which he described as unsophisticated.
He said Kenya does not have a strong regulatory system to deal with the new mall.
"I don’t want to wade into an intra-UDA spat, but as a longtime professor of international trade law, I think the phenomenon of China Square is detrimental in an unsophisticated economy and a corrupt state with a weak/thin regulatory infrastructure like Kenya’s. It must go!" Mutua said.
This comes as China Square announced that the shop will remain closed indefinitely to allow time to sort out several issues.
"We, China Square Limited, regret to inform you that we will continue to close down for further notice," they said in a statement.
A section of Nairobi traders had decried that the shopping centre be closed as it was slowing down business operations.
Buyers had rushed to the new outlet as it had less costly prices compared to those of Kenyan traders.
Trade and Investments Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria said both countries must trade within a framework that will ensure a win-win situation.
"We need nothing short of a win-win solution," Kuria tweeted.
The CS said he will work with the Chinese owner to ensure that they built a manufacturing plant in Kenya to produce goods that Kenya can trade in rather than competing with local businesspeople in the retail business.
