"content": "you multiply Kshs250 by 30 days, it comes to Kshs7,500 yet we know that the wages of the majority of Kenyans are around Kshs10,000 per month. So, if sugar alone can take 75 per cent of the budget of a particular employee, you can imagine the life of that employee. This is because of the cartels. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right now, we are seeing what the oil cartels are doing. The trend at the international oil market currently is that oil prices are reducing but what happens in Kenya? Just yesterday, again, we have seen a sudden increase on the oil pump prices. We have also witnessed the activities of the maize cartels. Recently, we had the foreign exchange cartel. You will remember that in 1991, one US Dollar was exchanging for Kshs16 but by the end of 1992, one US Dollar was exchanging for almost Kshs100. Why this difference from what we are experiencing now? It is because of this that as a country, we must protect the interests of the 40 million Kenyans."
