    "content": "The fact which has contributed to the crisis of high prices of food and other things is the Coalition Government. This is because in the Coalition Government we have it is like we running two governments in one. Each side of this Government is trying to get a maximum share of the powers, resources and everything. At the end of the day, it is the common mwananchi who suffers. It is the taxpayer who carries the whole of that burden. About the food shortage, I do not see why the Government should not be able to feed its own people. If a government is not able to feed its people then it is a government in crisis. We should accept that Kenya is a Government in crisis as it is now because it is not able to feed its people. Here, we are talking about two categories of people. We are talking of people who are employed and they have somebody to fight for them for their wages to be increased. We are also talking of people who are unemployed or who are doing small scale businesses. Who is there to fight for them? That is why we need this Committee in place to articulate the issues of all Kenyans in general which touch on their lives. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I support."
