    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to support this Motion. I think it is about time that this country and this Government took care of its people. Our people are suffering. We must know that the economy runs around fuel. If we have to manage the business of this country, we must be able to manage the cost and prices of fuel. This affects every Kenyan. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are all aware that once the cost of fuel goes up at any given time, every other sector is affected; whether it is agriculture, business or whatever you can think of. It is, therefore, important that the Government ensures that there is proper control of fuel prices in this country. I also want to ask oil companies in this country to be patriotic and know that our people are suffering because of the escalating fuel costs which affect every Kenyan in this country. It is, therefore, important that the Government subsidizes the cost of fuel. Once that is done then it will be evident that all other sectors will be affected and we will be able as a country, to generate more businesses where the Government can levy more taxes and have enough money to run this country."
