As we all can see that recently the strong man is doing so many things to please people. Apparently he just signed a directive allowing market vendors to keep their stall forever. Would this new strategy is good enough to convince vendors to vote for him the in the coming election?

PM Declares That Market Vendors Can Keep Stalls Forever

by Kuch Naren | August 17, 2016

Prime Minister HE offered a major concession to a key constituency on Monday: providing market vendors the indefinite use of their existing stalls, regardless of the terms of contracts they might have signed.

In a Facebook post on Monday evening, Mr. HE said that a directive he signed earlier in the day would alleviate the need for his future intervention on the behalf of vendors, who had expressed fear about losing their small businesses to rising rents.

“A while ago, I went to the provinces. I always visit people’s markets,” he wrote. “The market vendors of all types have the same problem with contracts for continued ownership, use and enjoyment” of stalls.

Through Monday’s executive order, vendors will be granted “continued use from generation to generation” without having to negotiate new contracts or request government intervention, he said.

The three-page directive details four types of markets and the new terms that would govern them once current contracts end.

Vendors at markets owned by the government and built on state land, as well as those of the same origin but with private companies contracted to act as fee collectors, are guaranteed continued use of their stalls without the need for new contracts.

A third group includes markets built and maintained on state land by private companies that incur rental fees and taxes. When contracts between the government and these companies end, the government will take over the markets, continuing vendors’ rights to their businesses.

Got to keep the rent increases on hold then! Just because you have a right to be there may not be enough if the rents get unaffordable!

How does this line up with contract law? So no-one has to pay the rent?

They will sort out small details like that, after the elections.
