    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I start by congratulating my good friend Eng. Maina for this timely Bill. I also want to congratulate hon. Members for passing it. It has stalled for quite a while and the fact that today we have passed it, I think we should all congratulate ourselves. The idea of removing price controls was noble and good. However, experience has shown that whatever we intended to do to create free economy has not worked. We have managed to create billionaires at the expense of ordinary Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in urging that His Excellency the President assents to this Bill immediately. If he does so, I think the first essential good we must target is petroleum. We have suffered at the expense of cartels. We have seen people profiting from the ordinary mwananchi . We have seen people hoarding sugar and importing sugar in order to benefit from wananchi. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that this Bill was necessary and it has been occasioned by the greed of businessmen. It is high time we protected the ordinary Kenyans. Thank you."
