Rubis Petrol Station, Langata road. [Elvis Ogina, Standard]
Protests over high fuel prices raged countrywide amid reports of hoarding and shortages across the country.
Some petrol stations that previously had empty pumps suddenly resumed selling after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) announced a historic increase of Sh46 for diesel and Sh16 per litre for petrol.
The increase triggered public anger, with boda boda operators, matatu owners and small-scale traders accusing President William Ruto’s administration of neglecting ordinary citizens.
