Madam Deputy Speaker, the price of fuel in Kenya today has reached a level it has never reached in the history of this country. When Jubilee Government took over in 2013, fuel was retailing at Ksh64 to Ksh65 a litre. Today it is Ksh134 in Nairobi and Ksh143 in Lokitaung where Sen. Munyes comes from.

Other than the fuel problem, we have unemployment and a debt problem. There is nothing to cheer or celebrate in this country. We must place the blame where it falls. I have heard my learned senior, Sen. Wetangula, trying to excuse the President and the Executive and saying that it is Parliament that taxes people but we know better.

On this, again, I must agree with Sen. Orengo on what he said yesterday that this is perhaps the weakest and most helpless Parliament in the history of our country.

It has abandoned the people we represent to its own schemes and devices.

The President must take responsibility. He is the one who introduces all these proposals from the Executive office. We are not against the President when we say so. In any case, he is retiring. We have no business criticizing the President because he is going home but since the politics of the “handshake “came to this country, the Opposition, Parliament and everything died and the Executive has been left ravaging and marauding this county and doing whatever it wants. There is nobody to talk on behalf of the people of Kenya. I commend Sen. Orengo for the courage of sponsoring ...
