    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wamatinga talked about oil. If you can remember, five months ago, I brought a Statement to this honorable House. I had all the documents showing that the Government has lost billions of Kenya shillings through this oil. Many wondered what this guy from Marsabit County was talking about. However, today, they know the Senator of Marsabit was talking about money in billions of Kenya shillings lost under a deal which is supposed to reduce the cost of living in this country. Instead of reducing the cost, a few people sat in a hotel in Dubai and exaggerated the price by more than 30 per cent. That oil is in cans and drums just stored in over 11 go downs, yet, it can be sold. Mr. Speaker, Sir, two days ago, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KeBS) had a certificate that showed that the same oil was declared unfit for human consumption and should be returned to the sender within 30 days. If not, the responsibility will go to the importer, but the entire consignment will be destroyed. That consignment is going to cost the people of this country billions of shillings. I urge distinguished Senators that we should not talk about which party we belong to. Let us talk about this country. Let us put our country Kenya and its people as our number one priority. What is happening now is that people are very uncomfortable with the issues happening in this country. I see that we are heading back to the Nyayo era."
