"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. In the same breath, I would like to thank Hon. Opiyo Wandayi for bringing such a timely issue to the Floor of the House so that it can be debated in the right place. A few weeks back, this City witnessed a lot of destruction in the name of fighting against the high cost of living. However, we have a Constitution that mandates this House to address matters that concern Kenyans and resolve them. This matter is properly before the House. It is in the right place and for that, I thank the Leader of the Minority Party. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the high cost of living has become an issue in this country. The sponsor of this Motion belongs to a formation that has a leader who, just a few months ago, told us that the cost of living is not an issue. At that point, they were in the Government. They knew what was happening and how we got here. We did not get here in the last six months. We had a dispensation that, at its prime, was borrowing in excess of Ksh2 billion a day."
