Kenyans will have spent additional Sh25 billion on fuel in the two months to June 14, highlighting the impact of US President Donald Trump’s war on Iran on household and business budgets.
A Business Daily analysis of fuel consumption trends and revised Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) prices shows motorists and households will spend an additional Sh25.09 billion between April 15 and June 14.
The fallout from the Iran war is driving inflation to its highest level and creating a growing political problem for President William Ruto in the wake of protests and a nationwide public transport strike that was paused yesterday for seven days.
