    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Mr. K. Kilonzo's allegation that petroleum products are cheaper in Rwanda and Uganda than in Kenya, unless he tables evidence proving that allegation, I disagree with him. The taxes being levied on petroleum products for all those countries are fixed. Oil products are transported through the Kenya Pipeline to Eldoret and then all the way to Kigali through Uganda. If there are any price variations in Uganda and Rwanda, it could be because of variations in taxes levied locally in those countries, which I do not know. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of subsidy, I said that the Government is trying to empower June 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1397 the NOCK, so that it can bring down the prices of petroleum products in the country. Many hon. Members must have noted that NOCK petrol stations are selling petroleum products cheaply. So, we encourage hon. Members to fuel their cars at service stations which sell petroleum products cheaply. Sooner, the multinational oil companies, which control a higher percentage of the sector, will reduce their prices to an affordable level."
