Sugar, petrol, white flour, maize, and milk are among the commodities whose prices have decreased year on year as President William Ruto continues efforts to reduce the cost of living.

The government, which has faced significant criticism over the high cost of living, has been quietly working in the background to lower commodity prices.

According to inflation data reviewed by Kenyans.co.ke, inflation has dropped year on year to 3.5 per cent, down from 6.3 per cent in February 2024.

This essentially means that retail prices have increased at a slower rate of 3.5 per cent.
