    "content": "I am telling the House that we are in free economy. We have the Public Procurement Act which should be followed to the letter. It is very clear. It gives rules on how procurement should be done. If this was done on national strategic reasons, I fully support. If they were to import and put it in strategic storage for them to serve the nation in time of crisis, I fully support. However, there is no crisis. Why should individuals be given a preference to import fuel? We all know that NOCK has not demonstrated that it is able to procure oil from the international market at a competitive price. I do not mind NOCK being there, but it must be funded. You do not give it 30 per cent without funding it. Currently, they do not have capacity to handle the capacity it has been given. It has no capacity to distribute it. That is why, at the end of the day, this country finds itself in problems; that is why we find ourselves in scandals in terms of oil importation; that is why the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) had crisis due to lack of storage of facilities."
