    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Local Government on the use of excessive force, inflicting of bodily harm and destruction of merchandise belonging to small-scale traders in the City of Nairobi over the last two days. I am particularly concerned that this is happening at a time when we are promoting self- employment. Recently the hon. Minister of State for Youth Affairs tabled here a policy document on the Youth Development Fund. This action is likely to threaten and kill the entrepreneurial spirit of our youth and women, who form the majority of our small scale traders. Secondly, I would like the Minister to clarify why there is evident lack of serious commitments to establish suitable trading premises and market stalls to meet the overwhelming demand for such premises by small-scale traders from urban and rural areas of our country. Thank you."
