    "content": "It was thought wise that our country needed a discussion or dialogue. We needed to talk with each other and not at each other. It was because of that that it was decided that both sides of the divide sit down, discuss and come to some agreement even if it was not 100 per cent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when dialogue starts, first you isolate the issues that you can easily agree on, then, you put down the issues that are more difficult to agree on. However, as you agree on some issues, the others that you do not agree on do not disappear. They are still kept. I informed my colleagues who were not satisfied with the Report that it is an ongoing process. They were not satisfied because of the main issue, which was the cost of living. Perhaps, it was just given a scratch on the back and not addressed in detail. I hope that the regime has heard the concerns of the Kenyans and those who are not satisfied with this Report. The burden of the cost of living continues to be very heavy on the people of Kenya and this discussion should not be the end of it. There are some recommendations which I support. Particularly, the issue of cash transfers to the elderly increased from Kshs2,000 to about Kshs10,000. I belong to that lot of the elderly."
