    "content": "price until the fuel lands in Kenya. If we cap the price at not more than 0.75, suppose those costs exceed the 0.75, what are we basically saying? We are saying that the oil that will land at Mombasa will be sold at that price even before distribution. We are going to remove the leeway that we have put in place and whatever we have done with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). Let us give them enough time. Let us remove this so that we do not give leeway to a Commission and then cap their work with an arbitrary figure of 1.75 because the 1.75 could well be exhausted even before the fuel lands in Mombasa. We will then have given no leeway. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to oppose and ask hon. Ogindo, with whom we have agreed on a number of very fundamental amendments in the last couple of minutes, to withdraw this one until the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communications and Information looks at it, so that we can get a comprehensive amendment that will sort out the issue of oil prices for this country. In the meantime, if hon. Ogindo does not want to withdraw the amendment, I would urge the House that we reject the amendment."
