    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think this amendment Bill is very important not only for what its memorandum of objects and reasons say--- It is not only the farming sector that is going to be helped. When prices are affordable and people are able to purchase goods, we talk about economies of scale. Items that Members have said they will include during the Committee Stage will help reduce the cost of living for the ordinary mwananchi . Today, we were saying in the morning that the people who are being paid Kshs2,000, Kshs3,000 or Kshs5,000 per month, and those who are paid Kshs1 million all end up in the same supermarket. Flour has the same price for them. You can imagine the difficulties the low earners go through. I am sure that this Bill will stimulate economic growth in the country, because many people will afford commodities. Those who sell will realize more sales."
