Trade, Investments, and Industries CS Moses Kuria termed his sentiments as an act of responsibility over the factual status of the escalating fuel prices attributing the increase to global and climate change issues.
“I repeat. Petrol will be Sh260 by February. And El Nino is coming in 3 weeks that 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,” he said.
Yesterday, Kuria scoffed at those criticizing the Kenya Kwanza government for the escalating fuel prices whose spiral effect is increased cost of living. Without mincing his words, Kuria told those bashing President William Ruto’s administration to remain silent or drill their ‘oil boreholes’ to alleviate the crisis insisting the increased fuel prices is a global issue.
“From morning till evening If you keep saying the fuel price has gone up, why don’t you dig your own oil well? Those people making noise, if they have their own well, I’m ready to start digging tomorrow,” he said.
The CS has been vocal about preparing Kenyans for tough times ahead following escalating fuel prices saying the pain at the pump will continue until next year in February.
