    "content": "what we are talking about. Having a global economy where people can do a lot of business for 24 hours. Since I am in a hurry, I have lost my train of thought. There is one request I want to make to Sen. (Dr.) Ali on the definition. To vend is to sell something either from a stall, machine or whichever way it is organized. So, when we describe the street vendor, we want to say a person who is engaged in the business of selling rather than vending. This is so that we can demystify a street vendor. They are also business people and we want to celebrate them as such. The other point I wanted to bring across is the issue of sanitation which is very well accommodated in this Bill. Sanitation has been a challenge for us for a long time. I know that a lot of the counties are trying very hard even in the villages. We have grown up with trauma from using public toilets. You cannot go to a public toilet. That is how we have grown up. It is only of late that we have come to start cleaning a little bit, but this issue of sanitation still lacks significantly. I am glad Sen. (Dr.) Ali put it in the Bill so that it is accounted for. We continue to encourage our people that our streets and public toilets need not be a place for trauma, but rather a place that encourages more and more people to engage in the business that we need to continuously keep creating so that we can grow our economy."
