Kindiki defends government over fuel prices, cites global conflict

Kithure Kindiki says the government is not responsible for the fuel price increase. Kindiki has slammed opposition leaders, telling them to stop politicising the matter and inciting Kenyans. The Deputy President pointed to the war between Iran and the United States as a major cause of the global spike in prices. In Kilifi County, a host of leaders allied to the broad-based government defended the administration on the same issue as they drummed up support for President William Ruto in the Coast region.
