Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro was on Tuesday, July 15, critical of the sharp hike in fuel prices, accusing the government of misleading Kenyans.
Nyoro dismissed the Ministry of Energy's explanation for the increase in pump prices, alleging that the government was engaged in "secret borrowing".
Hours after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) released new pump prices, set to be in effect until August 14, the Ministry of Energy attributed the surge to international market fluctuations.
However, Nyoro rejected the claim, arguing that global oil prices had peaked in 2024. "We saw fuel prices go up drastically yesterday, and the explanation given by the government is not accurate.
