Update: Kenyans are planning nationwide protests over soaring fuel prices and the worsening cost of living, with calls growing for a total shutdown on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. #RejectFuelPrices
It is actually a crime under Kenyan law for public officers to give false/misleading information. We have been told a bunch of open lies about the fuel situation with Ruto himself, as recently as 30th March, telling us his “strategic interventions”had “mitigated price increases” only to hit us with a 40 shilling increase two weeks later. Let me not even mention that “expert” or his string of lies. We are placing the pain at the pump squarely on Ruto.
