Raila Pushes for Landmark Fuel Reduction After Global Prices Drop

Estimated read time 1 min read

Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has demanded a significant reduction in fuel prices by Sh50 per litre, citing significant drop in global oil prices.

Speaking during an ODM recruitment drive in Kajiado County on Saturday, Raila explained that the global oil prices have dropped to an all-time low hence his push for a landmark reduction.

“We have information that global prices have gone down. This month the fuel prices must go down by Sh45 to Sh50 per litre,” Odinga stated with EPRA set to announce new prices on December 14, 2023

He maintained that due to the current global oil market dynamics, nothing short of a significant drop should be announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), adding that a marginal drop of Sh5-10 will not be sufficient.

EPRA is set to announce new fuel prices on Thursday, December 14, 2023.

Last month, President William Ruto promised Kenyans a much-needed relief, assuring them that the prices of fuel will go down from next month, with each subsequent month seeing a reduction of prices until a sustainable price is reached.
