    "content": "If you keep Kshs1 billion in the house and use Kshs10,000 every day, it will take you 267 years to finish that money. Therefore, when we read about the Kshs2 billion a day being stolen by individuals, honestly, let us remember the memory of Mzee Kibaki. Those thieves who steal money and resources are the cause of lack of medicines in our hospitals and proper equipment in our schools. The same people who are subjecting this country to high cost of living, let us ensure - I call upon everybody - that these people are put in Kamiti Prison where they belong and Kenya starts being the country that we envisaged it to be. Let me also say that Mzee Kibaki was a believer in free economy. I brought the Price Control Bill to Parliament and it was supported by the whole Parliament. It was talking about 10 items, which Kenyans are still crying about even today; maize, maize flour, rice, cooking oil, paraffin, petrol and diesel. I enumerated 10 things that I felt that the Government should be actually having control on prices, because I do not believe that we should be living in a country where common people cannot afford basic commodities.
