Some key takeaways from the President’s national address:
President Ruto directs a KSh 10 reduction in diesel prices in the next fuel cycle (June–July) to cushion Kenyans amid the fuel crisis.
• Government has spent KSh 28.19 BILLION in fuel stabilisation (PDL) & tax relief (VAT reduction from 16% to 8% on petroleum) in just TWO pricing cycles (April-May & May-June)
• Without Government intervention:
Petrol would be KSh 230/L
Diesel would be KSh 277/L
Kerosene would be KSh 270/L
• No fuel shortage in Kenya. The G-to-G fuel deal remains crucial in ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply across the country.
• Government energy solutions to reduce fuel import dependence & external oil shocks include:
- Turkana oil production
- Development of a regional refinery
- Expansion of renewable energy
- Modern public transport systems
- Electric mobility adoption
• President Ruto directs duty-free importation for the first 100,000 electric vehicles (EVs) for public & private use in Kenya.
• Government to integrate EVs, with 3,000 already ordered for security & administration officers.
• Government to continue attracting EV manufacturers to set up in Kenya.
Following consultations with transport stakeholders, the government will:
- Engage banks on financial relief for transport operators
- Address insurance claim concerns affecting public transport operators
- Review the Insurance Act & Auctioneers Act within three months
- Engage ride-hailing firms & drivers on minimum taxi fares & sector disputes
- Support safe use of artwork & graffiti on matatus
Why is the Matatu strike escalating into the wee hours of the night? The law is very clear on the time picketing should start and end. This is criminal now.
Why are you guys celebrating this gentleman? Just for saying "With all due respect?". Tukue serious kidogo. They should call off their Matatu Strike. The scenes witnessed yesterday are unacceptable. Stop Economic Sabotage. Reject Violent Protests.
Why didn’t he condemn the violence and destruction of property?
I was just testing my camera lens and accidentally captured this moment… A man sitting quietly, frustrated because no customers were buying from him.
This is heartbreaking. Behind every man fighting silently, there’s often a family depending on him kids to feed, a wife to support, responsibilities he carries alone.
People rarely talk about what men go through emotionally and financially.
Let’s normalize supporting small vendors and checking on people around us.
I was just testing my camera lens 📸… and captured this. A man sitting there frustrated with no customers 😔
People rarely talk about what men go through silently.
Behind that silence is a family to feed, bills to pay, and pressure nobody sees 💔
This really touched my heart 🥺 🎬📷@BlueTikBae
Now you see why we want City to win the league over Arsenal
They won the FA cup but no one is talking about them
They won the treble in 2023 and that hype ended in two days
They can win all the trophies no one rates them, Pep is even bigger than that Club
If Arsenal wins, they will trend for a whole month.. big club,huge fanbase and we will be cooked properly 💔
That's the difference
I visited Rachael Muthoni in hospital , the woman who was doused in petrol for tattooing President William Ruto’s photo on her chest.
Wamunyoro, you cannot escape accountability for this barbaric attack. Targeting someone like this is indefensible. Hata kama ni siasa, this is not the way to go.
The brutal attack she endured ni ya unyama. Mr. Dorcas, hii hautaeupuka!!
@ahmednasirlaw GM, my primary job is to think, and then put my thoughts on paper for conversation and public debate. I like your reaction, by the way, because it appears I’ve provoked you🙏🏽
Men,
No woman has sagging breasts before childbirth; sagging occurs after having a baby.
Women should stop pushing up your their boob's to heaven after birth.
Give men a fair chance to avoid single mothers and married women.
Rules are rules.
