    "content": "Article 27 of the Constitution guarantees the protection of the right to life. Article 40 guarantees every citizen protection of their property individually or in association with others. Article 41 guarantees the right to reasonable working conditions for every worker. Article 43 of our Constitution inter alia provides for the right to reasonable standards of sanitation for every person. The traders at Gikomba Market have decried that the Government has neglected its obligation to put in place suitable measures to sustain the business environment at the market. Further, it has been unwilling to address perennial fires. It is on account of these concerns that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: (i) What causes the current fires at Gikomba Market as established by the various investigations? (ii) What measures is the Government putting in place to control and manage the situation at Gikomba Market so as to create a conducive business environment for the traders? (iii) What steps have been taken to ensure that adequate precautionary and preventive measures are put in place to reduce and curtail the current fire outbreaks at Gikomba market? (iv) What plans does the Government have to improve the deplorable infrastructure inside the Gikomba Market so as to improve access, install proper drainage system; build sheds, pavements and secure the market? (v) What specific measures is the Government implementing to cushion the Gikomba Market traders from the devastating losses caused by the frequent fires at the market to enable them rebuild their stalls, restock and resume businesses? I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
