    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree fully that there is need to dispose of this matter sooner rather than later, but it will also not be good for this House to pass a law that is so fundamental in a controversial manner. It will be very good if the whole House moves together, that is the Government side as well as the non-Government side. The time we are asking for is today, so that we go to the House Business Committee (HBC) on Tuesday and allocate specific time, which will preferably be within next week. The HBC had already looked at this matter and allocated it today in the hope that all the consultations would have been completed and the matter would be finalized today. So, I think I can say yes, Kenyans are waiting. We are all suffering the impact of huge prices. Price control has been tested on fuel and it has not worked. So, perhaps there is something else we need to learn in terms of how to do it in respect of food prices."
