    "content": "It is billions! It is Kshs17 billion! This is a small economy where no single company should be allowed to collect that kind of money. If it was in Europe, there would be an inquiry of even illegal charges of profiteering if not racketeering. I would wish to invite the Minister to think in the interest of the ordinary Kenyans who are being overcharged. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the last seven years, there has been a problem in introducing a third mobile phone company. It cannot be introduced because Government officials have been intertwined with the interest in Safaricom Limited. The same Government is not even able to resolve the ownership issue of the same company. So, it is wise that one of theses days we would get someone awakened to the misfortune of the exploitation by that company. The other issue is that this country has been witnessing the horror of murders due to insecurity in this country. The Mungiki incidents have not been more shameful to this Government than the circus displayed by the Minister for Tourism and Wildlife and his Assistant Minister on television. The shame, ridicule and the obscene session that we were entertained to, we deserve an apology as Kenyans. 2100 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 27, 2007 We may be inviting our children to be switching off television when they see some Ministers on television because we do not know what they are going to say."
