    "content": "This is a very important area that will protect only the registered vendors to engage in business because as we know, Kenyans are very opportunistic people. People can just come start their businesses anywhere. However, as long as you are not registered, then the Government can take action on you. This will give the registered members the opportunity to do their businesses and create their own wealth because they will do their business in the areas that have good income for them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Clause18 states that- “(1) Upon expiry, a vending license may be renewed for such further period not exceeding one year. (2) A registered street vendor issued with a vending license may apply for renewal of the license in the prescribed manner at least thirty days before the date of expiry of the licence.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we know is that many traders have in the past suffered because when it comes to the renewal of their licenses, they face a lot of challenges. In Kenya today, where corruption is practiced everywhere, many small traders face a lot of challenges because they keep on coughing money from one office to the other, giving it to different officers so that their licenses are renewed. However with this Bill, they will be able to register their license within 30 days. So long as they do it on time, there will be no gaps and their businesses will run smoothly."
