    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, we all know there is a Government programme which sets aside amounts of money to pay oil marketers to ensure that Kenyans do not pay huge sums for the various products. For the last one or two weeks, the marketers have been complaining that they have not been paid accruing subsidy money. As a result, the oil marketers are unable to sell petroleum products at the current rates which have been set by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). As a result, the oil is not enough to supply to Kenyans who are now suffering. The bodaboda riders, matatu drivers and owners of private vehicles are suffering. There is a situation where teachers who are supposed to mark national exams are unable to travel and sick people are unable to go to hospital because transportation has been disrupted by the crisis. Farmers’ products cannot be transported across the county because of fuel disruptions. As an owner of a motor vehicle, when you go to a petrol station, you are told you can only fuel Kshs1,000 notwithstanding the fact that you want to make a journey of 600 kilometres. The Kenyan economy will contract as a result of this fuel crisis. What about the millions of Kenyans who use paraffin as fuel? We have poor Kenyans who cannot buy gas and instead, use paraffin. However, they are not able to buy it because it is not in the market."
