"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, at the end of every financial year, we find that money is returned to the Treasury and nobody explains where it goes. Nobody comes back to this Parliament and tells us where the returned money goes. When we reduce the cost of fuel, it means that even at the Ministry level, they will have to fuel their vehicles at the reduced cost, and that will reduce their expenditure. Therefore, we have to look at people who travel in matatus . Bus fares are very high now. Most of our motorbike riders carry the old women at home and take them to different destinations. The cost that they incur is passed over to that old woman, who actually travels to the market. By reducing the cost of fuel, we are going to cushion our people, so that life in the rural areas is bearable and better than it is today."
