"We should be able to manage the rising cost of fuel within the next three or four months, or reduce it so that it doesn't rise by the figure we saw yesterday (Thursday)," Chirchir said in response to the latest hike, the highest in recent times, which saw the price of a litre of petrol shoot beyond the Sh200 mark for the first time ever.
The new price marked a Sh16.96 increase. The cost of kerosene rose to Sh202 with a Sh33 hike.
