    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, any time fuel prices are increased, it affects all Kenyans in every aspect of life. It is very unfortunate that these things happen without explanation. The increase by Kshs9 per litre is a lot of money for a single addition in one month. Last month, it was Kshs5. We do not know what it will be next. We are doing a lot of injustice to our people. It is not a matter of who is in the Government, ‘ nusu mkate’ or the ‘handshake.’ This is a very serious matter that touches the lives of our people. We should not take it as a joke because it is not. Kenyans are suffering and we do not have any single explanation for our people. The unfortunate thing is that the additions are done and our people are never alerted. When things are tough in your and maybe you are engaged in other development issues, you cannot omit all your obligations. You sit your children down and tell them that they will be eating a half loaf of bread instead of the full loaf that they are used to. What we are doing in Kenya is a lot of mismanagement of the people and the economy. It is very unfortunate. I support the Statement."
