3rd September, 2018
The Government is moving to avert a looming standoff over
the implementation of the new fuel prices. Deputy
President William Ruto says the Government and the
legislature will meet to discuss the way forward on the
implementation of a 16 percent vat charge on petroleum
products. Some ODM MPS are threatening a censure motion
against treasury cabinet secretary Henry Rotich and
countrywide demonstrations over the move. And as rita

government to rethink the move arguing it will lead to
high cost of living, rising inflation, loss of jobs and slow
growth in the economy
