    "content": "hawk food must have health certificates, so that they do not contaminate the food or spread diseases like cholera and other related diseases. It is in that light that the Bill says that the hawkers or street vendors must belong to a certain area and should be registered. Mr. Speaker, Sir, nowadays, we are doing a lot of construction and building of infrastructure. During road construction, you will find that some of the areas where these people do that kind of vending become affected. For example, when the Thika Superhighway was being constructed, there are people who were doing that kind of--- I think they were architects or designers of the roads. Whereas it is good and we are enjoying as we drive around, it affected the livelihoods of a number of people. It is also happening on Ngong Road. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must be able to marry the two. We can do that by designating specific areas and providing facilities, including sanitary facilities for the people who are vending in those areas. We want counties and the national Government to take the issue of vending as one of the areas where they can also generate income."
