    "content": "This is an important Bill Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I agree with Sen. Malalah that we must remove the issue of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) dealing with hawkers and street vendors anywhere in the country. I am glad we are debating this when Sen. Sakaja is here because many street vendors, or if you like hawkers, who are mostly mistreated are those in Nairobi. One time when I was coming from Makueni, I passed through City Stadium. There were hawkers who were selling vegetables and clothes outside Wakulima Market yet it was raining cats and dogs. There was darkness but they were on the lookout for the county council askaris who are notorious for arresting them. This is the story everywhere. I hope that the sponsor of this Bill will factor that in. Every time there is fire at Gikomba Market, Sen. Sakaja and all Senators of Nairobi go there to commiserate and shed crocodile tears. They promise all sorts of reparations and fire engines that never come. The other day it was Toi Market and there were crocodile tears. It also happened in Kawangware and again, there were crocodile tears but there is never a solution."
