    "content": "this will be through this Finance Bill. It should not be lost to Kenyans that the state in which our economy is in currently, with inflation at 11.5 per cent despite promises and commitment by the Jubilee Government to maintain inflation at between 2.5 per cent and 7 per cent, is really a culmination of the failed promises of this failing Jubilee Government. When we hear about of SGR we think more about the Standard Gauge Railway than about the Strategic Grain Reserves that this country is supposed to maintain. We are being treated to this discussion that we have had long droughts and that is why Kenyans are facing the very high cost of living. Drought should no longer be a determinant of the state of the economy of this country as if we are living in the Iron Age. Currently, we live in a very modern society where droughts are predicted and should be planned for. We have been treated to the circus of fake fertilisers and seeds that has cumulatively resulted in Kenyans being unable to afford the daily meal. As I was coming to Parliament, I went through a supermarket. A packet of 2 kilogrammes of unga, which I brought and was taken away from me when I was coming in here, is being sold at about Kshs180. Two kilogrammes of sugar are now going for almost Kshs400. A packet of milk like this one which we were buying at Kshs30 is now Kshs65."
