KNCCI calls for fuel tax review amid high prices and economic pressure

Despite the relief given by the government in reducing fuel prices, the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry is demanding a comprehensive review of fuel taxes and levies to reduce the cost burden on Kenyans. The chamber has called for targeted support for transport operators, SMEs, and export sectors, which it says are most affected by the spike in fuel prices. The government, however, maintains that the rise is beyond its control and that it has done what it could.
