    "content": "shows that all these Kenyans who are doing the little trade can be recognized. Sen. Wamatangi correctly said that they need the support and legislation that can ensure that they get all the financial support, all the legislation and all the policies that can guide them. Since I declared that I want to contest the Lang’ata seat, I have gone around Lang’ata and seen that this is a cosmopolitan state. Everybody is organized. We have the youth who are organized in the car wash trade and women in table banking who are making soaps and kiondos also known as Kenyan baskets. Others are engaged in all sorts of small businesses. All they need is to be supported, and these guidelines will provide the necessary support. If they are protected by the law and empowered in a way that they can access these resources, they will build their capacity and improve not only their social status but the economy of the entire country. Over-dependence on white collar jobs will be a thing of the past. I am glad that this law is recognizing the county governments who must also facilitate and ensure that they support these small traders who also need the recognition and not to make life difficult. This is because the groups that fall here for now include the youth and women whereas accessing the Uwezo Fund and many other financing agencies is not very easy. When the space is opened up, many more now have ways that they can depend on themselves."
