    "content": "and our SMEs. A vibrant economy depends on a very competitive market. Where there is competition, there should be law enforcement. Even those big retail chains should not be established in the villages. One time at the National Prayer Day, the Deputy President said that you must grow from a hawker in the streets to a shop owner, to a mini supermarket and then to a supermarket. For example, in Luanda or in those small sub-counties, we should encourage the mini markets which are owned by the local community. You see Naivas Supermarket, Tuskys Supermarket and now there are foreign entities called Carrefour and Shoprite supermarkets everywhere. When will we build our supermarkets? We must have a law that says that the big or giant retail chains can only be in the big towns. They should not go to our villages. It is like seeing a Chinese hawker in Bumula Constituency. You ask yourself where the village hawker will go. We must have laws that protect bad trade practices. That is what this Bill is all about. The Competition Authority should not sleep in the office. They must enforce laws and take the significant steps that will make our economy grow."
