    "content": "as we speak today. It has been proven that if there is any single issue that rallies Kenyans together and makes them come out to the streets, it is the cost of living. We shall have, therefore, done injustice to our people if we ignore such an important matter. I look forward to engaging with my colleagues on this important question of the cost of living, amongst other issues. We do not want to reduce the talks to an elite conspiracy as we go into these talks. That is why we have insisted, and the Motion speaks to it, that these talks be made as open as possible so that the public can get an avenue to air their views, either through memoranda or other forms of representations on the issues we shall have been framed as the agenda of the talks. Once the talks are concluded, and this House embarks on putting into effect whatever recommendations that shall come out of the talks, we shall be moving together with the people. We neither want to leave the poor behind nor do we want people to be ahead of us. We want to move together with the people. In conclusion, let us play our role. Every other Parliament has had a moment such as this. As the 13th Parliament, this is our moment. Let us seize it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker; I second."
