Nandi senator Samson Cherargei on Friday evening kicked up a storm, hours after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced changes in fuel prices.

EPRA announced a Sh 1, Sh2 and Sh1 drop in retail prices of petrol, diesel and Kerosene respectively.

According to Senator Cherargei, the slight changes were significant and will help lower the cost of living.

“The prices of petroleum products has dropped significantly which points a clear trend of a stabilising economy. This will further make the cost of living affordable and a prosperous country,” he wrote.

However, his sentiments seemed to have rubbed Kenyans on Twitter the wrong way, and they swiftly responded.

A litre of prtrol is now retailing at a record high of above Sh 170 in Kenya.

President William Ruto had pledged to reduce the prices once in office, as part of efforts to lower the cost of living.
