    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. There is nothing wrong with giving subsidies the world over. We have seen countries like the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), and others in the developed world giving subsidies to their citizens. The subsidy was given as a measure to cushion citizens from the high cost of maize flour. As we know, maize is the staple food of Kenyans. From the Report, it appears that some people may have taken advantage of the subsidy to make money. I support the Report with a rider that an audit be carried out with full disclosure on who did what. As it is, the Report is inconclusive. I urge the Committee to add a bit more “meat” to the Report, and we finalise this matter. Those who genuinely supplied maize flour should not be victimised. They should be paid for the services that they rendered. Once again, I support the Report but with a rider of an audit on full disclosure."
