The announcement comes after President Ruto announced that the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) would reduce the prices of fuel by Ksh10.
Speaking while in Nyeri County during a church service, President Ruto noted that this was part of the government’s plan to lower the cost of living.
“The fuel prices were high but today the prices will go down by Ksh10,” he stated.
Ruto emphasized that the government was making the right decisions and assured Kenyans that the government had a plan.
“A year ago people were worried asking ‘where are we going’ but I told you that we must make the right decision. Unga was retailing at Ksh200 but now it’s at Ksh100,” the Head of State remarked.
Additionally, Ruto also alluded that his efforts had resulted in the strengthening of the shilling from Ksh160 to Ksh130 against the dollar.
He also emphasized that his administration was also working on measures to reduce the prices further.
