Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has disclosed an alleged secret plot to adjust fuel prices marginally higher.
According to the MP, the process to raise fuel prices was already in motion, with meetings reportedly underway to finalise the plans.
Ndindi Nyoro warned Kenyans to remain vigilant, arguing that the proposed adjustments were unjustified since all fuel currently in the country had been imported before the recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
“I know these people, and I have worked with them. I have reliable information that there are plans with meetings underway so that EPRA can adjust prices upwards and blame the situation on Iran,” Ndindi said.

“All the fuel in Kenya was imported before there was instability in Iran. That means the landing cost of the fuel already in the country was lower. Don’t confuse Kenyans by trying to raise fuel prices unnecessarily”, he added.
EPRA is set to announce new fuel prices on Saturday, March 14.
In its last review, Super Petrol prices were reduced by Ksh4.24, Diesel by Ksh3.93, and Kerosene by Ksh1.00, bringing retail prices to Ksh178.28 for petrol, Ksh166.54 for diesel, and Ksh152.78 for kerosene.
