Recent events in the CBD have brought to light troubling incidents involving County enforcement officers against hawkers. This includes physical assault, extortion and sexual abuse, particularly targeting female hawkers. Such acts are not only unethical and unlawful but also violate Articles 28 and 29 of the Constitution, as well as Statutes including the Sexual Offenses Act and the Code of Conduct for public officers.

I thank you."
