    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Ideally the cost of fuel should be dependent on the cost of international fuel prices. We are not aware that fuel prices increased all over the world yet the Ministry of Energy keeps on increasing the fuel prices in the country. Taxes account to over 40 per cent of fuel prices in Kenya. In fact, at this time when the economy is down, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is looking for taxes through increasing the price of fuel. In fact, this hurts Kenyans because every aspect of Kenya depends on fuel. So, I agree with other Members that we must summon the Ministry of Energy and discuss this matter seriously so that we cushion Kenyans against this. The Finance Act comes once and when it is passed by the National Assembly, it is left to the ERA to increases the prices the way it wants. This must be stopped. There must be some cushioning against this haphazard increase of fuel prices by the Ministry of Energy. I support."
