    "content": "We increased taxation on kerosene in last year’s Finance Bill and this has made life very difficult for many people. This exemption will encourage our people to use more LPG. In a recent survey by the World Bank, it was said that about 87 per cent of Kenyans depend on solid fuels as their primary source of fuel. Therefore, I urge Members to support this amendment because LPG is very clean energy. Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal can tell you the health risks that come with the use of charcoal, wood and Kerosene for cooking. They are very detrimental to our health and the lives of our people. If we use clean energy like LPG, we will help our people a great deal. Therefore, I urge Members to support the amendment."
