CS Kuria references his prophecy that fuel prices would rise until 2024 after EPRA again reviewed prices upward.
Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has come out to indirectly reference his prophecy that fuel prices would rise until 2024.
In a tweet on Saturday, October 14 CS Kuria discreetly ridiculed Kenyans for detesting facts whenever they are told
He tweeted that while ‘ science’ predicted that fuel prices would rise further, Kenyans were not ready for that particular conversation, adding that they would prefer being numbed by anecdotes.
“Mackenzies and Ezekiel Oderos of this world will always have a field day in Kenya because Kenyans prefer Voodoo to Science,” he said.
Statement by CS Kuria came after on Saturday, October 14, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) released new prices of fuel products after an upward review.

“Global crude prices are on an upward trajectory. For planning purposes, expect pump prices to go up by KSh 10 every month till February,” Kuria said in September.
