    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petition by Hon. Mule. One of the things that is disturbing all of us is that there is something seriously wrong with the ministries of Energy, Petroleum and Mining and the National Treasury. They have indicated and shown signs of insensitivity because the cost of fuel, electricity and gas is going up and yet, the country is suffering from COVID-19. The country is undergoing many issues of insecurity and yet, the Government is increasing the cost of fuel. I come from a large-scale farming community. Currently, many large-scale farmers have started laying off employees as a result of the increase in fuel. The Government needs to be sensitive to the common person. The Government is only interested in executing its mandate through the President. If the President was sensitive to the needs of the people of this country, he would know that this is not the time to continue increasing the prices affecting the common hustler nation people. The timing is seriously wrong and it shows a Government that is not committed to the welfare of Kenyans. We have many issues concerning the economy and transport. The continued adamancy of the Government will be faced with a lot of resistance from many Kenyans. Currently, even the police security unit cannot afford fuel. I do not even know how they operate. When the Government increases the price of fuel, it also needs to know that even the police department is unable to operate. The Executive needs to come out very clearly. We are the consumers and are feeling it."
