"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have to be careful after the incident involving Sen. Kang’ata. Somebody cheekily mentioned that Sen. Cherargei is riding himself which is not a very good thing. This is a very topical issue that has kept Kenyans engaged for the last 48 hours since the matter was brought to light. For the first time since the creation of this world, Kenyans are paying figures that are completely obscene, especially as we consider the price of fuel and it docks in Mombasa vis-à-vis the price Kenyans pay at the pump. This tells us that the bulk of the payments we are making is taxes. When I was a Member of the Committee on Energy, we considered the matter a couple of times. We had made tremendous gain on areas where we could make savings and ensure Kenyans paid a figure that was at least justifiable despite the fact that we need to raise sufficient taxes."
