    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know there are very few people who are controlling these prices, be it the price of fuel or that of grains. There are basically cartels of thieves. This Parliament must do more. I want to implore my friend, Eng Maina, to widen this list when we go to pass the Bill. He should include every item which affects the lives of our people; in fact we should have a Town Hall meeting; let Kenyans tell us which items, they want the prices controlled. There is no way our people can live with the current prices of u nga . We are courting a revolution! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, recently, the Government bought bags of maize at Kshs2,600 each to sell to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) at Kshs1,750. That move did not bring down the price of maize meal. In fact, a few politically well-connected people made a lot of money while Kenyans were dying in drought-stricken areas. We must make sure that we control the prices of what our people consume."
