We know that in certain African countries, normally when price of flour is increased by about a cent, people go on strike. Yet, Kenyans, when prices are increased by quite substantial amounts, they have remained faithful to their country and have never gone to the streets to demonstrate. I am talking about against what happened early this year. The Government tried to give subsidized maize flour. We all know what happened later, but Kenyans never complained. I want to thank them for this. But nevertheless, I do not think, we, as Members of Parliament, should take Kenyans for granted while they continue to suffer."}
