    "content": "You can imagine the many Kenyans who are going to suffer because of oil prices going up. The boda boda, matatu, passengers and all transport industry will be affected because of this. The monopoly of deciding the cost of petroleum products should not rest on a private entity or an entity that is not keen about Kenyans. This is because we rely on fuel for very many issues. There is need to address this issue so that we bring down the cost of living. This is because if fuel goes high it means that transport and everything including building and construction will also go high. If importation of more than 30 percent of fuel can bring down the cost of fuel, then why not? I think that is the way we should go. It should be more than 30 percent and not be capped at 30 percent. We should look for a mechanism of ensuring that whichever way we have a win- win situation for the many Kenyans who are relying on fuel. We are all affected including us the legislators. If you want to go home for an activity you spend more than Kshs50,000 just on transport only. Forget about even going around from one ward to another. There is need to see how to help the many suffering Kenyans when it comes to issues of fuel. Even when Senate adjourns S ine Die, there are so many issues that need to come to our attention and I hope that we are going to have special sittings in situations where the issues are too critical that they need to be addressed by Parliament before the next Parliament comes. I thank you."
