Hon. George Murugara (Tharaka, UDA) Thank you very much. I also support this Bill. It is absolutely timely. The Government is responding to what has just occurred, which is negatively affecting our people, and we are trying to cushion them from the very high cost of living. We know very...

Hon. George Murugara (Tharaka, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. This is an interesting form of punishment.
