Former Trade Cabinet Secretary and Current Public Service Performance and Delivery Management CS Moses Kuria told Kenyans that fuel prices in the country would continue to rise by at least Ksh. 10 every month until February next year, sparking uproar among Kenyans.
He posted on his official X page last month that: “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 added: “I repeat. Petrol will be Ksh.260 by February. El Nino is coming in 3 weeks and will last till March. These are global and climate change-driven. Responsible leaders ought to tell the truth to prepare the people. You can throw stones at me all you want.”
