EPRA Slashes Fuel Prices: President Ruto's Promise Fulfilled

EPRA reduces fuel prices as promised by President Ruto, bringing relief to Kenyan motorists.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced significant slashes in fuel prices, giving Kenyan motorists a reason to rejoice. Super petrol has been lowered by Sh5.31 per litre, diesel by Sh10, and kerosene by a substantial Sh18.68. This move follows President William Ruto's assurance of a Ksh10 drop in fuel prices, which has now been implemented by EPRA. Government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura hinted at a major announcement regarding the reduction, setting the stage for the anticipated price cuts.

President Ruto's declaration of a Ksh10 decrease in fuel prices, just hours before EPRA's review, sparked excitement among Kenyans. The eyes of the nation were on EPRA to see if the promised reduction would materialize. As expected, EPRA delivered on the pledge made by President Ruto, with super petrol, diesel, and kerosene all seeing price drops in the latest monthly review.

In a surprising turn of events, EPRA not only met but exceeded expectations by lowering fuel prices by more than initially forecasted. The announcement of decreases in super petrol, diesel, and kerosene prices sent ripples of relief throughout the country. President Ruto's commitment to easing the burden on Kenyan citizens through reduced fuel costs has been met with positive reception and gratitude from the public.

President William Ruto's proactive approach to addressing fuel prices has not only led to tangible reductions for consumers but has also put a spotlight on the importance of government responsiveness to economic challenges. The collaboration between the government and EPRA in swiftly implementing the announced cuts serves as a testament to the impact of decisive leadership in addressing pressing issues affecting the nation.
