    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious Motion. When a Minister of Government, who is the Official Responder, stands up and says that he does not know whether to oppose or support this Motion, it shows the casualness in which the Government is taking this Motion, which is on the food crisis in this country. I want to remind this Government that in 1789, the French Revolution was sparked off by the people on similar circumstances. Wananchi in this country are not going to take the skyrocketing prices of food commodities casually, when Parliamentarians and other well-to-do people enjoy their lives. I want to tell the Government that, if it does not respond and address the prices of food in this country, which Eng. Maina has brought to the Floor of this House, we are playing with a time bomb. I support this Motion. I want to see the Government being committed to supporting issues which touch on common mwananchi. We do not want to deal with a Government which is insensitive. We do want to deal with a Cabinet which is blind when prices of food commodities are rising. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
