    "content": "Clause 12(3) says: “No licensed street vendor shall be evicted or relocated from the location specified in their licence, unless the street vendor has been given thirty days’ notice of such eviction in such manner as shall be prescribed by the relevant county government.” This will help the vendors because in the past, they have been tossed in every corner and frustrated. Once this is applied, they will be given proper notice. The vendors will then enjoy their business because they will be protected by the law that will be in place as a result of this Bill. This is a very good Part, especially Clause 3, because no one will close down their business as a result of somebody trying to evict them. Part IV is also very encouraging because it will help in the registration and licensing of street vendors. It gives directions on the processes that they need to go through, what they need to do and how they can be registered. Under number Clause 14(3), the director shall be the registrar for the purpose of the maintenance of the national registry of street vendors. The director is the person responsible in every county. That means that we will then have proper records of all the vendors in the entire nation. That can then protect the small vendors since we will know their numbers and what they need. The Government can even come up with a proposal of enhancing what they are doing and also supporting them so that they can grow their businesses. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Clause 16(1) says- “A person shall not engage street vending activities unless they are registered as a street vendor and in possession of valid vending license from the relevant county.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
