Wandayi calms fuel price fears as Ndindi Nyoro pushes for VAT exemption on petroleum products

Energy and Petroleum CS Opiyo Wandayi has moved to calm public outcry following the latest review of pump prices that has left fuel prices at a record high. Wandayi has called on Kenyans to remain calm, saying the new fuel prices have risen sharply due to the unending conflict in the Middle East. His statement comes even as Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro writes to the National Assembly Clerk to have Parliament reconvened from recess for an extraordinary session to amend the VAT Act and exempt petroleum products in order to reduce pump prices.
