    "content": "The final point is on enforcement of the law. When the Governor of Nairobi City County planted grass to welcome the President of the United States of America, the grass refused to grow and decided to wait for the Pope. But in the process of the grass deciding to grow, he deployed enforcement officers whose job was to bully, intimidate and to harass innocent citizens in this city. You would be arrested for just stepping slightly on the grass. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have also seen a lot of rent-seeking when it comes to enforcement of some of these rules with regard to outdoor advertising. I hope that as we finalize and make amendments to this Bill, we can give some thoughts about enforcement, nature and shape that enforcement should take. It is not just the issue of the Kshs200 fine or the six months imprisonment but we could also talk about how - once these approvals have been made - we go about ensuring that on a regular basis, those who have been given the permits or the licenses adhere to the terms of their licenses. I support the Bill with the amendments that have been raised by my colleagues and by myself. Thank you."
