    "content": "that you just want--- Some of them are even corrupt and they do not care. They take money and move on like nothing has happened. In such situations, you will find that when a city askari has been corrupted, he is answerable to no one because the following day you will still see him working. In a situation where a city askari has been corrupted and has been unethical, they need to be brought to book in a situation where he has infringed on people’s decency and rights so that he or she is answerable. This will instill discipline in them. As a Senate, we are saying that we agree that city askaris need to work, but in the process of working, there is need for them to be ethical and respect the common man because these are the people we represent as the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of capacity building is very important. There is need for county governments to ensure that they build capacity for market vendors and the mama mboga who are struggling to eke a living and do not know what to do. For example, the packaging paper they are supposed to use. Sometimes the vendors do not even have the money to stock those papers. There is need for county governments to ensure that there is capacity building for vendors. Apart from that, there is need for support with regard to capital so that the city vendors get licences. These licences should be provided for free for this woman trying to ensure that her children and her family get fed. What this mama mboga is doing is constitutional. Article 43 of the Constitution speaks to economic and social rights. This Bill has come at the right time, when the Senate is feeling the common man. Kenyans must know that the Senate is not joking. This Senate wants to ensure that we have deliverables for the people of Kenya. We are here for the purpose of the counties, to represent mama mboga and speak on issues that affect the common man. There is need for enforcement officers to do what they are supposed to do. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Bill also talks about enforcement officers ensuring that they care about the health of the people in their hands. There are times when enforcement officers just throw people into vehicles like garbage and they get hurt. They do not care to even take them to hospital. This Bill speaks to that. The county"
