I want the Assistant Minister to accept that it is extremely difficult for the Ministry to cushion Kenyans against the rise in the prices of petroleum. According to the information that was given in this House, petroleum products are imported once a month by one company. That is the cartel that controls the price of petroleum products. Could he confess that it is extremely difficult to control the price of petroleum products, and that Kenyans will continue to be exploited by those cartels?"

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, petroleum prices were liberalized in 1994. What we are doing now is trying to put a cap on the price. We are not controlling the prices. We are saying that this is the maximum we can go. The formula we are using is an international formula, which is used everywhere. So, we cannot actually control the price of petroleum products. It is out of our hands. It depends on the international oil prices and the currency exchange rate fluctuations. If we, however, create the right environment for companies to compete properly by having proper infrastructure, that is proper pipelines and storage tanks, then we hope these prices will come down, and at some stage, the competition will become even. Right now, we only have one jetty and ships queue there. You can only discharge one ship at a time. The capacity is also limited. With improvement of infrastructure, we hope the price will actually stabilize."

Between April and now, given the crisis of the exchange rate of our shilling, could the Ministry, in conjunction with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance, consider further reducing the Excise Duty on diesel, so that we can assist the farmers?"

The Question as put is so general that I am not able to give it the answer that will deal with the intent of the Question substantively. So, my office has written to him to give me particulars of where that piece of land is. He should give me more particulars to enable me to answer the Question appropriately, particularly in view of the fact that Nyambene is still trust land. Trust land is vested in the county council. Unless these allegations are particularized, I will be unable to give an appropriate answer."
