    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House do now adjourn. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to invite this House to listen very keenly to the people of this country. I want them to listen and when they do so, they will realize that Kenyans are very angry people. They are angry because they are hungry. This anger and hunger is for a good reason. A recent survey by research firm, Synovate, which published a poll last week indicated that the most important concern on the minds of the majority of the people in this country is not who will be their next President or who will not be. Their biggest concern is not the premature campaign mood that we have taken this country into. Their biggest concern is not the kind of political grand standing that we have chosen to play. Their concern is not even the ICC trials in The Hague. Kenyans are saying that their worst nightmare today is the struggle to keep body and soul together. It is the struggle to survive from one day to the other. It is the struggle and the pain that parents in this country have as they watch their children go hungry and literally wither before their own eyes. Therefore, this morning, Kenyans came out to express their anger at this situation. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with me here is a petition from the Consumers Federation of Kenya which is titled: “Urgent Call to Action Due to the Unbearable Food and Fuel Prices”. This petition which with your kind indulgence, I wish to table and place on the record of this House, isolates the critical issues that have brought this country to where we are right now."
