Earlier, President William Ruto told Kenyans that fuel prices would drop by Sh10.

Speaking at ACK St Peter’s Cathedral in Nyeri, Ruto said a decrease in fuel prices would help push the country forward.

“Today the price of Unga which was Sh200 is almost hitting Sh100, the shilling has strengthened against the dollar,” he said.

“Fuel prices were up but today it is going down with Sh10. All this is because we are making the right decisions and not popular decisions.”
