    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 232(1)(b), I hereby present to the Senate a Petition submitted by the Kajiado Municipality Clothes Market Traders who are citizens of the Republic of Kenya and residents of Kajiado County. As you are aware, under Article 119 (1) of the Constitution, I quote- “Every person has a right to Petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting amending or repealing any legislation.” The salient issues raised in the said Petitions are as follows- (1) THAT, during the Financial Year 2020/2021, the County Government of Kajiado received an allocation of Kshs63,061,157.20 on 2nd July, 2021 from the World Bank via the State Department of Housing and Urban Development. The funds were meant to refurbish and expand the Kajiado Municipality Market to accommodate the clothes market vendors who had been displaced by the previous Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP) project of public square. (2) THAT, it had been mutually agreed between the county government through the municipality and the traders under the resettlement of the action plan for the World Bank; that the traders will permanently be settled in the upgraded market within a designated open, but roofed area for their business. In the meantime, the municipality was to provide a street where the traders would temporarily operate from during the transition period. (3) THAT, the refurbished market was to meet the following objectives- (a) Provide adequate and viable space for all the clothes traders. (b) Provide a business space to shed traders from environment factors. (c) Provide traders a trading space that meets sanitation standards."
