"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am winding-up. However, I hope that this House is now well informed. We now know that the Act is there. We should look into it to see how to help Kenyans. This Act was signed by Mzee Kibaki. Our Committee has done a lot in trying to lower and stabilize the price of fuel. Once again, I must remind this House that taxation is a major issue as the CS keeps telling us. However, the powers are in the National Assembly. So, you may coordinate with your colleague in the National Assembly and see how we can bring some parity. Otherwise, I feel for Kenyans not just for today, but I have felt for them all my life. That is why I brought this Act. It was not easy. I faced a lot of pressure from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other people within the Government, but I pushed and will table it here. Therefore, I wish to end there. I beseech Members to come up with their wisdom on Tuesday and not rhetoric."
