President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday told off his critics over the high cost of living, noting that he is not to blame for the high prices of goods and services.
Speaking during the Labour Day celebration at Nyayo Stadium, the President said the current surge in food and fuel prices was occasioned by the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing war in Eastern Europe.
If anything, said the President on a day that he directed employers to revise upwards the minimum wage for workers by 12 per cent, his administration put in place measures aimed at cushioning Kenyans. President Kenyatta said just when the economy was recovering from the negative effects of the pandemic, Russia attacked Ukraine, a conflict that has led to the increase in prices of fuel and food.
