    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Many years ago when we were younger and in the university, as students of law, we were required to buy shirts for purposes of the moot court. Moot court is where we would do these presentations in competitions. You could show case what you have been learning in a practical setup. The law students are meant to defend their clients. I went to buy a shirt from one of the vendors. You know all of us were dressing in mitumba those days. That is what we could afford. So, I had this guy telling me mali kwa mali saying it is a clean and nice shirt. It was in the evening and usual last-minute purchase because you want to comply with what you have been told of the next day. Then in the morning, you wake up and find that the shirt is not white. You try to go and trace that vendor, but in vain. I am not the only one. Many people have been sold watches that turn out not to be watches. Other people have been sold mobile phones that turn out to be toys. All of us have gone through these experiences in one way or the other. This law is good because it says we want to regulate this trade. In many countries, a hawker or a street vendor would be wearing a registration. So, you know from his registration that you can trace him. He is wearing something on his collar that says I have been licensed by Nairobi City Council or Nairobi City Government to sell toys and handkerchiefs. Therefore, they can be traced and regulated. Many students who finish university and are unable to secure formal jobs have gone to do this type of business."
