A section of Nairobi activists has given the government a 72-hour ultimatum to reduce fuel prices following the latest review, which increased Super petrol by Sh12, diesel by Sh9 and kerosene by Sh28. The activists say the hikes are driving up public transport fares and worsening the cost of living. They warned that failure to lower prices within the deadline would leave them with no option but to call for nationwide demonstrations.
