    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement. I thank Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this Statement about the cost of living, and particularly fuel prices. I do not know how the common mwananchi is surviving because even us, Members of Parliament (MPs) who are paid very good salary by Kenyans, are crying about fuel prices. The cost of coming to Bunge and going back to your house in Nairobi City for a week has doubled. By the end of the month, you spend Kshs30,000 to Kshs40,000 on fuel only. Those resources could go to investment in this country. If this Kshs40,000 was spent by everybody on an investment, it would employ many Kenyans and help deal with unemployment in the country. At the moment, the cost of living is the greatest threat to national unity. In fact, many people here have accused judges of decisions they make causing this and that. However, the greatest cost of unrest and violence, which is a threat to national unity, is the fact that the cost of living has gone to unprecedented levels. Mark you, it is happening"
