CS Chirchir : Petrol Expected To Hit Ksh.300
Energy Cabinet Secretary (CS) Davies Chirchir has told the National Dialogue Committee (NDC) that Kenyans should brace themselves for more pain at the pump as Israel – Hamas war could push prices to Ksh300 per litre.
Speaking at the NDC, the CS stated that the ongoing conflict in Israel will hit global crude prices which will see pump prices rise further.
Chirchir told the Kimani Ichung’wah and Kalonzo Musyoka-led committee that the ministry was doing everything within its power to curtail further hikes which could push Kenyans into an economic crisis.
”So we are almost managing scaling the heights as we chew the gum every day to make sure we do manage this frame,” CS Chirchir noted.
”These are products which are real drivers of inflation so we are consciously working on it on a day-to-day basis to make sure that although it’s a global challenge, we do obtain the best prices for our country.”
