    "content": "I want to thank Mr. Njuguna for raising the issue that through vandalism, the other items that are affected are road signs. That again affects our children but having said that, I want to encourage the hon. Member to note certain things that the Bill should cover. Sometimes whatever we intend to cure, we might be having the very people we are seeking to protect. If you look at Clause 21(d), it talks about the premises of the applicants who are in the opinion of the licensing officer unsuitable in dealing with scrap metal. You know that the people who generally deal in scrap metal are jua kali artisans. Most of them do not have premises. Most of them work in open spaces and so I would encourage the hon. Member to amend that so that he takes into account the fact that juakali artisans are generally our young people who do not have other means and they are trying to create employment even though there are people who are misusing that and stealing and affecting the industry."
