"content": "commodities are far beyond their reach. They are very high. We need to have price control on essential commodities. The previous speaker talked about his experience in Pakistan. In India, there are price tags on every commodity. It is a requirement for all essential commodities to have price tags. Nobody can charge more on those commodities. We are not trying to stifle free enterprise in our economy. However, our manufacturer needs to realize that they can benefit more from selling a lot more at lower margin than at higher margin. When we reach this critical mark, they will reap enough profits. We need to regulate the prices of the essential commodities. If this is not done the soonest, our people might end up demonstrating at our door steps. Despite being referred to be the highly paid, we cannot enjoy the little that we earn because a lot of burden has been passed on to us by ordinary wananchi. This burden comes back to us because we have to support families which cannot afford a dayâs meal, medical care or other basic commodities. That burden is being passed on to us. I am sure if we introduce price controls on most of our essential commodities, particularly the ones covered in this Bill, we shall have done a lot of justice to our wananchi and ourselves."
