    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the cost of living in this country is mainly affected by fuel prices. It affects even the common person; even the Wanjikus right in the village. This is because they use fuel, paraffin and all these kind of things. When we come to agriculture, our farmers use diesel to ensure that the sector grows. So if we want the agricultural sector to move, we must have proper policies in the country. If we have to be food sufficient in this country, we must ensure that as a nation, we control fuel prices in this country. That will have a positive effect on this country. Every sector will now be seen to grow. Once we leave the prices of fuel uncontrolled, it will affect everybody and most businesses will close down and this country will suffer. Therefore, it is extremely important that we introduce this subsidy in this country so that together, not only can we help our people to survive and bring down the cost of living, but we will also ensure that businesses in this country grow. It is imperative for this nation to take control of fuel prices in this country so that our people will begin to enjoy the reduced cost of living. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even as I conclude, I want to urge the Government, and thank the mover of this Motion that it is timely and important. It must be seen in the light of we, as a nation, growing. It must be seen as, we, as a nation, improving in terms of the economy of the country, and more importantly, reducing the cost of living of our people. I beg to support."
