    "content": "amusement in this; but we should all be patriotic and defend our country. The cost of living in this country has completely skyrocketed. If someone is not able to get a job, they should be free to sell their products. However, when they do so, they have no clue about pre-shipment inspection, which is mandated by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) before any goods are brought into this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with the small traders, but I also challenge them to seek guidance from the departments that we have in this country. There is no reason why an entire container should be destroyed. In fact, what should happen is that, if that container contains any part that is considered to be counterfeit, the person who should be punished is the one tasked to inspect those goods before they are shipped. We have PSI services, which are supposed to ensure that these risks do not fall on the people who are unable to pay for them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it saddens me when I drive to Narok and the person selling roasted maize on the roadside is a Chinese. I then wonder what happened to the people who live in Mai Mahiu; can they no longer sell roasted maize? Therefore, this Petition should not be limited only to this issue of counterfeits, but it should also expand to the work that the Nairobi County Government is doing in licensing those small traders. The people who come into this county should support this economy. The Petition should also extend to finding out the kind of work permits that are being issued by the Directorate of Immigration and Registration of Persons"
