    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. Petroleum cuts across the economy. Hon. Wanga has tried. Unfortunately, when you reduce it to Ksh12, it is insignificant. We know that in our budgets – and this has been proven by the Auditor-General – almost 30 per cent goes to waste. The Petroleum Development Levy was 40 cents and was increased to 550 cents. I do not see why the Committee decided to reduce it to 250 cents. They should have reduced it to where it previously was, namely, 40 cents. Those are the opportunities we are looking at. If you reduce the levies across the board, the cost of fuel will go down. The cost of fuel cuts across the entire production chain. Many jurisdictions that are doing well have tried to subsidise fuel prices. Even though the Committee has tried, Ksh12 is still unbearable. I wish they tried Ksh30. We heard from the media that they were trying to reduce it further. For example, when you look at the issue of demurrage – and you mentioned it very well – it is something about efficiency in those particular sectors.
