12 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the 10th May 2011, the Member of Parliament for South Mugirango, Mr. Oyongo Nyamweya sought a Statement from the Ministry of Energy on the rising cost of energy, or on the crisis in the oil industry. On Wednesday 27th April 2011, the Right hon. Prime Minister, while issuing his Statement during Prime Ministerâs Time, confirmed in this House that the Government had reduced the profit margin on regulated products such as kerosene, diesel and petrol from Kshs6 to Kshs4 per litre, and consequently the prices of these products were to go down by Kshs2.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have learnt valuable lessons from the past and recent oil prices. Any increment in oil prices has a significant effect, therefore, on our economy. Consumers then suffer. It is the expectation of the public that we, in Government, should intervene and lessen the burden over its people. Regulations would become definitely the optimal option. But in a liberalized economy, industry players can alter their behaviour. The recent speculation that there could be oil increase price is merely speculation.

12 May 2011 in National Assembly:
On the issue of the price, whether the price reduction has been effected, you will remember that the stock that we were dealing with was the stock as for the month of April. In the next two days, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) will announce a new price, which will, therefore, incorporate the reductions which were proposed by the Ministry and the Government effective on 15th of this month.

12 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, they ask whether there was an effect in the reduction measures that were announced by the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister and, of course, confirmed by the Ministry. I said in my Statement that the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), which is the body that is charged with determining the prices as per what happens in the world market will make their prices known in another two days and not even 15 days. Every 15th day of the month or thereabouts, they are supposed to release the new prices because the pricing formula is dependent on the oil price ...
