Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has criticised the government over the latest fuel price increases, describing the move as insensitive to the economic struggles facing Kenyans.
Nyoro faulted the decision to raise fuel prices, arguing that the additional costs could worsen the financial burden on households and businesses already grappling with the high cost of living.
Fuel prices remain a key concern for many Kenyans because increases often trigger higher transport fares, food prices and the cost of essential goods and services.
The legislator’s remarks come amid growing public concern over the affordability of basic commodities and the impact of rising operational costs on ordinary citizens.
Fuel price adjustments are closely watched by motorists, public service vehicle operators, traders and manufacturers due to their direct influence on the cost of doing business and the prices consumers pay for goods.
Nyoro’s criticism adds to the debate over the government’s economic policies and the measures needed to cushion Kenyans from rising living expenses.
