Deputy President William Ruto on Monday last week warned butchers against increasing the price of meat due to the eight per cent value added tax (VAT) on all petroleum products.
Speaking during a function in Nandi County, Mr Ruto warned businessmen against taking advantage of the current situation to “fleece Kenyans.” “Some butchers have also increased the price of meat because of the VAT. Do cows burn petrol?” posed the DP.
