"content": "very good but using this wholesale is not addressing the interests of Kenyans having in mind the same fuel I am talking about. It is a very essential commodity that Kenyans need. In fact, this is where the President should come up with full control so that people do not suffer because once this goes out of the way, the lives of Kenyans go out of the way as well. The last regime used to subsidise petrol. I was told if you do this you are not going to make Kenya competitive yet at that time when subsidy was being given for petrol and the Kenya Shilling was also supported, we remained competitive a lot more than we are today. If somebody wants to challenge me why am saying this, this is why: Uganda, our neighbour here, which has been with us all along, has left us. They are now importing their own fuel directly and the price they are paying is now lower. Why are we pricing ourselves out of the world market by weakening the Kenyan Shilling? The Kenyan Shilling should be supported by the Government."
