Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me join my colleagues in congratulating you for being in that position. Let today not be the last day. I know that you are going places and we wish you well.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I join my other colleagues to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Ali for coming up with the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill. I have been a hawker before I came to this House. Being one of the vendors, what we used to go through and what vendors go through is too much for them to handle.

Madam Temporary Speaker, when it comes to the issuing of the certificate of registration, I would urge the counties to go digital. It will save the time when they are going to pay for the certificates and it will ease their time. When they go to the counties you find them lining up to go and pay.

Going to the sanitation, you find out that more counties are opening markets without considering where those vendors will stay in those areas. Like the toilets, you will find out that markets are being opened and there are no toilets.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to move that the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill be read a second time. I have a passion for children in this country. This is the second Bill that I am moving. The first Bill that I moved was the Care and Protection of Child Parents Bill. It goes concurrently with this second Bill of basic education.
