    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that on the issue of water, the Parliamentary Committee has declared a verdict and I need say no more. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the food prices, the point I want to make is that if we are not careful, we will start looking at issues here and talking as if nothing major is happening out there, and miss the issue of our people. I also want us to look at the contribution of fuel to the whole of his debate. If we will attribute all the issues to fuel alone, we are missing the point. There are issues of fertilizer, inefficiency and ourselves here agitating for higher producer prices. If you increase the producer price, obviously, the consumer price must go up. There is no way you will agitate for the Government to buy maize at Kshs2,400 and expect that the end consumer of the maize flour to be milled from that maize will pay anything less. How do you expect the miller, who is forced by the Government to buy maize at Kshs2,400, to subsidize the cost of unga ? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the intention of the Motion and ask my colleagues to focus on the real issues."
