"content": "sugar belts. We do not want to go there again, but we will see the effects of this importation from every corner of the economy of this country. Today it is the small traders, tomorrow, it will be the sugar cane growers and the next day, an entire value chain will come to the Senate with a Petition. We have not seen the effects of this Petition yet. So, we hope that we will look at the entire value chain as we commit it to the relevant Committee. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Petition. With regards to rents, the small people are always disadvantaged. I spoke to the Senator for Nairobi County, Sen. Sakaja. He told me that a small room in Luthuli Avenue where small traders trade in has a goodwill of between Kshs2 million to Kshs4 million or Kshs6 million. I do not know what this is. These are laws that have been overtaken by events. These are things that are really making our traders to have a difficult working environment. What is becoming evident is that unless a person becomes a tenderpreneur anybody trying to do a clean business has many barriers put in their way. Be it unfair practices---"
