Brace yourselves, fuel prices will rise by Ksh.10 every month until February – Moses Kuria warns
As Kenyans continue to reel from the effects of the all-time high fuel prices announced by the government on Thursday, Investments, Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria is asking the public to tighten their belts and be ready for even higher prices at the pump in the coming months.
According to the Trade Cabinet Secretary, fuel prices in the country will continue to rise by at least Ksh.10 every month until February next year.
“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 posted on his official X account.
If CS Kuria’s pronouncement is anything to go by, fuel prices in the country will soon retail for at least Ksh.250 a litre.
