• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the President’s delegation to China included business people, for value addition to this country. Indeed, when I brought the Statement request to you, the last bit was not part of it. However, common sense dictates that it is of value. It is good for us to know whether some exporters were part of the delegation. It is for purposes of following up. The additional request is for value addition. It is common sense. I thought that the composition of the delegation is important. view

• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: that we discuss the cost of living in Kenya in view of the increase in food prices which is now a matter of urgent national importance. view
• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: In the last one month or so, Kenyans have been crying. The prices of food have really gone up and the cost of living has gone up. It is not an issue of Jubilee neither is it an issue of CORD. This is an issue of national importance. As we discuss this, I call upon hon. Members to discuss this matter objectively without fear or favour. The cost of living that is going up is affecting both sides of the House. view
• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Earlier on, half a litre packet of milk was costing Kshs50 but it is now going for Kshs80. A loaf of bread that cost Kshs40 now goes for Kshs70. This applies to both unga and sugar. Ninety per cent of Kenyans eat ugali which is the staple food not only in western Kenya but in every part of Kenya. The food prices have gone up because of the enactment of the VAT Bill which is an Act right now. view
• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: In production, we say that the total cost of production is equal to fixed cost plus the variable cost. We have heard a notion that unscrupulous business people are increasing prices illegally but this is not the case. If the production costs have gone up, definitely the total cost will go up. Price is equal to total cost plus the percentage profit margin. view
