    "content": "As the Committee looks at this, there are two levies. The first is the Petroleum Development Levy. This was supposed to have been a buffer that cushions Kenyans any time there are fluctuations in the prices of petroleum products in the world market. The second one is the Fuel Levy that the Leader of the Majority Party has talked about, and which we generally use to maintain our roads. The immediate levy that must be removed is the Petroleum Development Levy because, whereas it was supposed to cushion prices, it is not doing so. Why do we still have it when, at the same time, it cannot cushion Kenyans? That is one area that the Committee should address and remove that particular levy immediately as an immediate measure, so that the prices can go down. Otherwise, as it is now, the country is resting on a very small margin because people are affected by COVID-19, hunger and drought and yet, we are now increasing the fuel prices. I support the Petitions."
