    "content": "ask from them. Most of the times, they are asked to give all they have collected for that day. When they are going home, they cannot even put food on the table of their families. It is so sad. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to have very stiff penalties for those askaris who harass these vendors. We find a way of protecting those very needy mothers. I am talking about mothers mainly, because for me, they are the majority. We also have those who hawk other items. However, these mothers are the ones who have educated a lot of people from these vending businesses. You will find women carrying things on their heads, going round the streets in the city and from one house to another vending their wares. They deserve better than they really get. I, therefore, thank those who produced this Bill. My only worry is that we discuss the Bills here and we pass them, but the implementation is very low. The implementation mechanism needs to be relooked. We need to look at the Committee that is supposed to see to it that the implementation is done. That way, the Bills which are worthwhile, like this one, are not put on the shelf to gather dust as opposed to helping those whom they are supposed to help. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker and I beg to support the Bill."
