    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Today I am very happy that we are making noise and raising many complaints because of the high prices of fuel. For us in northern Kenya, this is a usual thing. As we speak, the price of diesel has gone up to Kshs135 per litre. In Baragoi, a litre of petrol retails at Kshs150. Beyond Baragoi, it retails at Kshs160 and yet, we are being ravaged by drought, COVID-19 and banditry. So, the price of every item on the market is very high in that part of the country. Secondly, there is no competition in that area when it comes to transport services provided by matatu operators, motorcycle operators and people who sell food commodities. The pricing of those services are not determined by competition at all. We, in northern Kenya, are happy that today other Kenyans, including Members of Parliament, are making a lot of noise about the increase in the prices of petroleum products. I look forward to the Committee rescuing those of us who have for long been considered to be non-Kenyans. Kenyans in that region go to Uganda, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
