"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, it is a sad situation. This crisis ought to never have happened. It is an unnecessary mess. For this to have happened, it is symptomatic of an epitome of failed planning. Obviously, it became apparent that Russia was going to invade Ukraine as early as late December last year. Any serious planner should have planned on this. Hon. Speaker, the cost of increasing fuel prices dates to sometime back when we introduced several taxes in this House. Those of us who oversaw and prosecuted the Bill and the Motion in this House are here today. When I grow up, I would wish to travel the road from Damascus so that I can turn from Saul to Paul. It is important that we must look at what we do in posterity and not just to please our masters, at that particular time, because masters can turn against you anytime. Kenyans continue to suffer because it was convenient for them then as they were the ones calling the shots. But now the coin has turned and the shoe has changed. We pity and sympathise with fellow Kenyans, lakini tumezoea kuwa Wakenya; tutavumilia hali yetu."
