    "content": "Eastleigh. The available sites cover a total area of 13.5 acres of land and if properly utilized, can accommodate 12,000 stalls. The other measure is to free the CBD as much as possible from adverse effects of disorganized hawking activities. We need to employ measures that promote security in the designated areas for hawking activities in order to make the sector attractive and vibrant, ensure that the designated sites are not only accessible, but are also provided with adequate or necessary supporting infrastructure and ancillary facilities and services. We also need to establish licensing procedures that are simple and flexible for the sector to ensure maximum use of the facilities and ensure that due consideration is given to the disabled in the designated trading areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Muthurwa Market has already been constructed, and hawkers are already using it to sell their wares. It is also used as a bus terminus for public service vehicles plying the Eastlands route, thereby helping reduce congestion of traffic in the city centre. Refurbished kiosks have also been constructed in various suitable locations since 2008 to address the informal sector challenges. In addition, we remain open to new ideas that can help increase self employment activities and opportunities within the city."
