I indicated that the time world prices will be going high, we will be in a danger. Our fuel prices are amongst the highest in our region. As a country, 40 per cent of the pump price is attributed to taxes and levies. Members right now are stating otherwise, but I just want to say it on record, in the Hansard of this House. When we wanted to zero-rate fuel in terms of VAT, we were very ... view

• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. On 25th March this year, I raised this matter in this House. When I raised it, the fuel then had shot to a nine year high of Ksh122.

You gave a ruling that the Committee on Delegated Legislation together with the Departmental Committee on Energy, provides a report within 30 days. From that The electronic version of the ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: day, the only time that I was called for an online meeting was on 13th April this year.

An amount of Kshs5.40 was for the Petroleum Development Levy Fund, Kshs0.25 for the Petroleum Regulatory Levy and Kshs0.95 for the Railway Development Levy. view
