Giffen good. A Giffen good is a low income, non-luxury good which has no substitute. A good example is salt. If there is no salt, there is nothing you can use in place of salt. As the demand increases, the price increases. Meaning, its demand curve is the opposite of a standard concept. When the price of commodities such as salt, bread and wheat go up, the opposite of that is Veblen goods. Veblen is luxury; jewelry, celebrity and all those things. On this, when the price of Giffen goods go up--- When is the last time the price of ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, initially when I heard this Statement being read out, I was waiting to hear the resolution of the Committee on Finance and Budget. Ideally, this is a Statement that would have been caused by a Member asking what is happening and the Committee to give us answers. It is true and really shocking that Kshs72 billion due to county governments has not been disbursed. We take a long process here to agree on the equitable share for counties, we haggle about the formula, counties do their budgets, but not paying the money creates a huge problem. My ...
