    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.41 of 2023) be read a Second Time. The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.41) of 2023) seeks to provide a framework on how street vending should happen in this country, with a lot of preference to our county governments because it is also an issue that touches on counties. The Bill argues that small-scale trade contributes significantly to this country's economy, largely by the hustlers, as we called them during our campaign period. This is a Bill that puts their interests at the front line because these are the people who largely contribute to our economy. If you walk to Nairobi this afternoon, you will in one way or another meet a street vendor. They are either selling small items such as biro pens, food items or doing music. We also have others doing stuff like magic shows where people watch and pay. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
