    "content": "The Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury announced reduction of prices of some commodities when he was here. The problem in this country is that we speak, but we do not follow up. In some countries, when they announce reduction of prices of commodities, the Government makes sure that its agencies go down to the shops to make sure that the shops are selling according to prices the Government proposed. The problem here in Kenya is that we speak, but we do not go down there. We reduce prices, but we do not go to see whether the retailer or wholesaler is selling at the prices that the Government has announced. It is very shameful that we are still lying to our people that we are going to improve their lives and yet some people cannot afford common commodities like sugar, milk and flour. Even some people’s salaries cannot take them throughout the month. They finish everything within a week."
