    "content": "It is my wish that as we support the Vote of this Ministry, it should be in the forefront looking for credit for our traders. We have many able Kenyans who would like to participate in trade, but they do not have capital. We would like the Ministry to identify the various sources of credit that may be availed to our traders at low interest rates. The Ministry should also work in partnership with the various commercial banks in this country so that they can also support traders. If you look at the Nairobi City Council askaris, you will realise that they spend their energy the whole day chasing small traders for licences or business permits. These traders are always harassed by these askaris. What has this Ministry done to harmonise issuance of licences? We normally hear about single business permits. However, if you get down, you will realise that the licences are very many that even the traders are not aware of some of them. If somebody is running a chemist, for example, he will be required to get a licence from the City Council. He will also be required to get a licence from the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. Is it possible for this Ministry to harmonise these licences in order to improve trading environment? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion."
