This comes at a time the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority Kenya {EPRA}announced that petrol prices had increased by Ksh7.58 per liter to retail at Ksh134.72 in Nairobi while diesel increased by Ksh7.94 to retail at Ksh115 while kerosene spiked by Ksh12.97 to retail at Ksh110.2.

"Are we ready now perhaps to have long, hard, wise conversations on turning this country around? There is really no space at all for empty promises. Or tribalism. Or friend-ism. None," Laura Walubengo, a content creator stated.
Secretary-General of the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK), Stephen Mutoro, argued that as a result of the fuel price increase, the cost of food, transport, and production would be escalated.
"Kenya's opaque and unpredictable fuel pricing will hurt the economy and strain FDIs," Mutoro stated.
