    "content": "In the Ministry of Trade, my constituents are also traders. The narrative has changed from focusing on big traders to mama mbogas, boda bodas and other people in the informal sector. My people expect that the Cabinet Secretary for Trade, Investment and Industry is going to address the issues from those simple setups. On matters of the cottage industries and the informal sector, how are they going to formalise the informal sector, which employs too many people in this city? How will he go around the issue of import duty, taxes, widening of the tax- base and reducing taxes on our people? We are also interested in knowing how he is going to expand opportunities to reach to other regions so that our people can trade with other regions. So, when it comes to vetting, issues on integrity, capability and experience should take centre stage. We, Nairobi residents, hope that whoever gets into the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Industry is going to liberalise trade in Nairobi. We expect more markets to be built so that they can accommodate our people. We expect so much that will change our economy. As we try to adopt this bottom-up economy, we expect people who run small businesses in Nairobi to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
