Kiharu Member of Parliament (MP) Ndindi Nyoro has proposed lowering fuel prices amid the fuel price hike.
In a statement on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, the MP outlined measures he said could reduce pump prices by at least Sh27 per litre.
“With a monthly consumption of approximately 400 million litres, the government must reduce pump prices by at least the following amount,” Nyoro said.
According to him, his proposal is not a favour but a demand to restore taxes and levies to levels that existed before 2023.
The Kiharu MP therefore proposed a reduction of Sh7 from the fuel levy introduced in 2024, alongside an immediate cut in Value Added Tax (VAT) by an additional five per cent, which he said would lower prices by about Sh8 per litre.
Nyoro called for the release of an additional Sh5 billion from the Fuel Stabilisation Fund to cushion consumers, stating that the fund currently holds more than Sh20 billion, above the required threshold.
“Reduce VAT by an additional 5 % immediately, which will be approximately Ksh 8 per litre.Grant an additional 5 Bn in subsidies from the Fuel Stabilisation Fund, which will be approximately Ksh 12 Per Litre. The fund already has more than the required amount and in excess of Ksh 20Bn”, he added.
According to Nyoro, the proposed measures would result in a total reduction of Sh27 per litre, which is both practical and necessary.
