    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, in view of the increasing poverty levels in the country; realizing that over 56 per cent of our population lives below the poverty line as the commodity prices continue rising due to uncontrolled oil prices; noting with concern that the transport sector continues to be adversely affected by high oil prices; this House resolves that Excise Duty on kerosene, super petrol and diesel be reduced by two shillings from the current levels of 7.205, 19.895 and 10.305, respectively. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Motion. I will dwell on the rates, which I have just quoted. I am sure the Chair is well aware that 65 per cent of households in this country depend on fuel wood to meet the bulk of their energy requirements. Only 8 per cent of households have access to Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), which was zero-rated recently."
