    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I moved a Motion in this House regarding price control. I just want to reflect to this House where this Bill has emanated from. Out of that Motion, which went through this House, the Government acknowledged the need for price control in this country. The Government did what was to them an honourable thing. On 10th December last year, this House was relieved when the Government came here and acknowledged that, indeed, the common man in this country was on the verge of starvation. To resolve the problem, it supplied two sets of maize flour. They declared that there would be two different sets of maize flour selling at Kshs52 and Kshs72, respectively. The Kshs52 packet flour was for the ordinary man. Today, in this country, ten million Kenyans are on the verge of starvation. So, the matter ended there and we took it that the Government had taken action."
