    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we talk about high prices of fuel, we are touching on the issues of milling companies, maize flour, wheat flour and agriculture where farmers use diesel. We are talking about wananchi who have to commute from where they are staying to their places of work. We are also talking about school going children who use matatu and other means of transport. Bus fare has gone up. The price of electricity has gone up. We are also talking about the fishermen in Coast Province and Kisumu who use petrol or diesel on their boats. Therefore, if the Government wants to help Kenyans, let it allow those who can import oil do so without hindrance. This will definitely create competition and prices will go down. The Government should also find sources of cheaper fuel from Russia, Iran, among others who export fuel at cheaper rates. We should not allow ourselves to be dictated by the European countries where to buy our fuel. They can impose embargo on different countries, but we buy our fuel where it is cheap.."
