    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not envisaged or said that this Committee is not part of the problem that we are facing or that it will not handle the problem. No Member should imagine that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, we have an Act. Therefore, I beseech this House to put pressure for this Act to be effected so that we save Kenyans from high prices. I caution that if we continue to tax Kenyans, it will not yield any good results. It is like milking a cow which is already under-fed and finally when it dies, there is nothing to milk. That is the situation Kenyans are facing. We will adjudicate on the issue of fuel prices on Tuesday. I urge Members to come with an open mind. Let us all join hands and see what we can do. You must also remember that this House has no authority or powers to deal with taxation. That matters lies with Parliament."
