    "content": "The second point that is being raised is high cost of living. We agree that it is high. However, this did not happen six months ago but over the years. We should sit down to know the cause of the high cost of living and the various methods we can use to actually ameliorate that situation. One of them is to reduce the cost of input in production, so that you are able to get better prices. Instead of doing so, we are being told to go to the streets and tomorrow the President will stand up and reduce the price of unga to Ksh70. We may have to live a little bit longer before such a pronouncement is made. The third point being raised is on IEBC. Unless we structure IEBC, there will be demonstrations. The IEBC is provided for by the Constitution. Two, we also have IEBC Act. The appointments that are taking place are in strict compliance with what that law says. How can we then fault a law which we have put into place, unless we want to overthrow our rule of law? Actually, these demonstrations are not bona fides but political and economic sabotage. Some people feel that the only way to try and ruin the Government we have today is by doing what they are doing today. They should be condemned. The police officers should be enabled to deal with those demonstrations the way the law provides. I support the Motion."
