    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement by Sen. (Prof) Tom Ojienda on outbreak of malaria in Kisumu County. That statement brings our attention to the issue of response to general outbreaks of diseases in this country. It is not only affecting Kisumu County, but many other counties have such challenges like was in the statements sought here some time back by the Senators for Wajir and Mandera counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the statement by Sen. Cherarkey on the issue of demolition of market stalls of small-scale traders in Nandi County. I have the Street Vendors (Protection) Bill that seeks to protect the livelihoods of such traders. When you destroy property that is owned by these people and they have incurred millions of losses, where do we intend to take those people? Are we giving them alternative sources of income with the current economy that we have? It is very sad that we are experiencing this at this time when we want to protect the livelihoods of small traders who contribute effectively to this economy. It is not just Nandi County, this is a disease affecting the 47 county governments. I would wish that the county government finds amicable ways of dealing with small-scale traders because they are equal shareholders of this country. I thank you."
