    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious issue in our country. I quote the FAO Report which says:- \"Based on current indications, several agricultural commodities are likely to experience a few more unstable months ahead and in most instances, the fundamental point to even further gains in prices\". Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this increase will not stop. The Minister gave us a lot of reasons why the prices are likely to go up but he gave us very shallow remedies. Twenty five per cent of Kenyans, to date, can afford to have three meals a day. Seventy five per cent cannot afford two meals a day. We have people in this country who take water for lunch because there is no food and go back to work. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister inform the House what this Ministry is doing to make sure that--- I heard the Minister say that the price of oil is still going up. Since four months ago, dollars per barrel is now half the price it used to be. The prices of many products have not gone down. So, how do these remedies help the poor Kenyans today? What are those direct effects and when are we most likely to see them?"
