    "content": "coming back to us as a committee because it has not been assented to, to become an Act of Parliament. So we are asking the President to sign this Bill so that it can be operationalised. There is also an issue which a Member talked about, that measuring economic growth in terms of percentage is global. We can brag that our economy that grows at 6.1 per cent is doing well, but that is not a true reflection in the households of many Kenyans. We could hold that as a standard globally, but it is prudent to look at why some people are doing very well in Kenya while others do not know where the next meal will come from. Some are living below Kshs100 a day and they do not know where they will get another one tomorrow. Many kids are still out of school. School drop-outs are too many because of poverty levels. As we say the economic growth is at 6 per cent, let us look at other parameters so that we can look at the suffering of other Kenyans."
