    "content": "One would ask: Why did you come with this Bill? I reflected back and tried to do a survey of the effect of uncontrolled demonstrations and picketing in our country. I went to some few institutions which I will quote here, once I am given that opportunity. One is the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). This is on record. During the demonstrations which were there in 2017, the Kenya Government lost Ksh700 billion in that very short time. It means that there were some people who waited for the demonstrations so that they can do their evil deeds. If there were some controls, I think that opportunity would not have come their way. In the same report by KEPSA in conjunction with Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) in 2016 when the election was nullified by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the loss was - this quote is also on record through KEPSA - Ksh7,400 every day per individual in the micro finance sector. The small-scale enterprises lost Kshs21,000 every day according to the same report. The large-scale sector lost about Kshs138,000 every day. This is documented. The small hawker in the Central Business District around big towns like Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa and Thika lost about Kshs3,000 every day. You know how many hawkers we have around.
