Kenya is in the middle of an economic crisis occasioned by a disrupted flow of petroleum energy between the government, suppliers, and consumers. We take a closer look at the disturbing new fuel prices in Nairobi.
EPRA DG Daniel Kiptoo who addressed the nation on Thursday, April 14, 2022, said the state is ready to cushion citizens from the impact of inflation.
