    "content": "I thank you, Hon. Speaker, for being so kind. What has just been laid on the Table by the Leader of the Majority Party is, if nothing else, the most important issue that should concern us. Let me thank the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury for apprising this House. As you know, the markets are not responding to the laws, particularly consumer protection laws, and even to some Government agencies. Only last week, you saw with the enactment of the new energy laws that the fuel prices have gone up in disregard of the prevailing market circumstances. Kenyans are complaining. So, it is very important that the Budget and Appropriations Committee and Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade tell us what is happening. This House has a duty. This thing where the prices go up and there is no instability in the market is disorganising and discouraging investors in our country. I just wanted to make a note and thank the CS for obeying the law to submit to this Parliament and throw it back to Parliament for action. Thank you."
