Commuters, motorists and consumers have started feeling the devastating effects of the increased fuel prices seeing as matatu fares in most parts of Nairobi increased substantially this morning.
Standard Group employees who commute from Nairobi CBD to the Mombasa Road offices today paid an extra Sh20 one way and another extra Sh10 from their homes. Meaning their commuting expenses will shoot up by at least Sh1000 a month, thanks to a 16 per cent VAT tax on petroleum products.
