    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Street Vendors Protection of Livelihood Bill, 2023 by Sen. Essy. I congratulate her for taking her time and walking the journey with this great Bill. I keep on saying you should not forget where you have come from. This is because Sen. Essy has given her story and journey. This is an indication that she has not forgotten where she has come from by remembering other people. This Bill touches mostly on the small-scale business people. Specifically, them having a suitable environment to conduct business. Today, we are few and so I was seated next to Sen. Essy earlier on, as you were calling the owners of the other Bills. I am so proud of her because as the others were absent, she was here and ready. It is a good indication of the kind of young leaders we have. They are always prepared. She has taken us through the Bill. I have also perused through it. I have looked at some of the clauses, case example, Clause Five of the Bill, which talks about vending license. It says that, the Section shall include the following; the applicant's name, the type of license, the vending location, the contact of the applicants, type of goods and services to be sold, the type and date of vending activities where applicable. In short, it includes many details that are very important. We have been having illegal vendors selling legal goods. So, without this particular data indicated in Clause Five, then it becomes difficult to have a reference point of who was the vendor and their location. Also, without this information, people evade to pay their dues as required."
