    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank Sen. Kibiru for coming up with this Bill on how to manage and deal with street vendors. I want to start by disagreeing with Sen. Malalah, who yesterday said that this law should not be here and should go to the counties. However, the issue of hawkers cuts across all towns and cities in this country. Therefore, we need a law that is uniform to guide counties on how to deal with – I do not want to call it a menace – with hawkers and their businesses. Mr. Speaker Sir, the harassment of hawkers and the informal sector in general has been of concern, not just to cities but to all towns. It is as if the job of the inspectorate of county government is to prevent hawkers from selling their wares. It is mainly because they are not guided. With this law in place, they will be fully guided through the County Executive Committee member who is in charge of this docket."
