    "content": "unemployment. About 80 per cent of the young people are in retail, which is not necessarily shops but those people we see on the streets. On your way home, you will see what we call Uhuru Highway opticians selling you sunglasses, vehicle spare parts like wipers, belts and so on. At the bus stations and even outside markets you find them. Sometimes many of them have no space in the market and if they do, they do not have the money to pay for rent. We must think about these people very seriously. We cannot criminalise them. Six days ago, a hawker’s teeth were plucked out after he was hit by a metal bar just because he was trying to eke a living. Where has humanity gone? You have seen kanjo vehicles. When I was a child, we used to sing “Haya makanjo”. I recently realised where it came from. This tradition of chasing people by city county officers has been there for long time. We must change that and I intend to do so when I am Governor of Nairobi City County."
