    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we do not deal with that issue decisively, we shall continue to lose lives 40 years after Independence, just because we cannot plan. I would like to ask the Minister for Agriculture to expedite that particular amendment. This House had already agreed that the National Cereals and Produce Act should be amended to make sure that we have enough strategic reserves in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have heard some reports which may be true, that our economy is growing by 5 per cent per annum. The people of Kenya are wondering whether that is the same economy they are living in. The people of Kenya are getting poorer by the day. The prices of basic commodities continue to rise. People are getting poorer, and yet we are talking about an economy that is growing! Looking at the statistics that were provided by the President, the economy is growing in the following sectors: Horticulture, tourism and tea! Most of those sectors are controlled by multi-national companies. The only benefit the people of Kenya get from those sectors is working as casuals. We cannot run an economy that is sponsored and run by foreigners. I think we need to change!"
