00:00 But really, before those guys come, I want you to understand, you must be confident and you must be firm.
00:05 And you must be fair.
00:08 A rule is a rule.
00:11 When we say there is no hawking or avenue, there is none for anyone.
00:14 Here in Tomboya, we said there is none, and I will say it again.
00:19 There is none, no matter who it is.
00:22 Don't send a phone to this person or that person to help us find our person.
00:26 Because if you allow one person, why not the other person?
00:29 Are we together?
00:30 So the rules must apply to everyone.
00:32 A city of order, you know what that means?
00:34 It means that whatever rule is there, everyone follows.
00:38 No one is above the law.
00:40 We want our people to trade.
00:42 That is why I said on Saturday and Sunday, no parking fees.
00:46 Let people come to Nairobi, let's open places, even the Kenyatta Avenue areas, sell them, but in a dignified way.
00:54 Let's make them.
00:56 And in this meeting, I will want a Kumali to tell us, pallet, is it called pallet or pellet?
01:02 That thing to sell, what size is it, how does it look, where is it?
01:07 Others have built a town, that you sell it in a town, it's like you're building another building.
01:15 We wouldn't allow that.
01:16 There will be no hawking on the road.
01:18 To sell things on the road, zero.
01:22 That one we will not have.
01:25 That one is an irreducible minimum, even for their own safety.
01:29 We will not have any hawking on the roads.
01:32 You start enforcing it from tomorrow morning.
01:35 In the streets, at the bus station.
01:42 If they are inside a small section, it is okay, we agree with the timings and we'll have that discussion now, now, now with them.
01:53 But on the road, it is an irreducible minimum.
01:55 [Speaking in foreign language]
02:00 [Applause]
02:02 [Silence]
