    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement on what the Government intends to do on the Uchumi Supermarkets issue and particularly on three issues. First, if the Uchumi Supermarkets is permitted to go under, chances are that Nakumatt Supermarkets, the only other big supermarket chain, will purchase Uchumi with the result that the public will be subjected to a major monopoly. Secondly, over 1,000 Kenyans have lost their jobs. Therefore, we want the Government to clarify on what positive steps they are going to take. Thirdly, the public was an investor through the ICDC investments. Can the Government issue a Ministerial Statement to tell this House and Kenyans at large what urgent steps they are going to take to salvage the situation and to bring to book those former crooks who have led to this situation, the same way that people are going to the coolers regarding the Enron issue in the United States of America (USA). Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker"
