There will be no immediate relief to the high cost of living, it appears, as the new administration refrained from giving a clear roadmap on its earlier promise of giving Kenyans relief within 100 days of getting in office.

President William Ruto instead laid out plans that will over time bring down the cost of essential commodities. These include increasing production of staples such as maize by offering farmers cheap fertiliser.
