Today, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) is expected to implement an increase in the price of fuel, driven by the rise in Value Added Tax (VAT) on fuel.
Despite potential higher production costs, this decision carries significant benefits for Wanjiku.
It is a crucial step towards improving service delivery, supporting infrastructure development, funding social programs, ensuring national security, and promoting fiscal responsibility.
By generating additional revenue, the government will enhance access to essential services, stimulate economic growth, create employment opportunities, and empower citizens to hold the government accountable for the transparent utilization of public funds.
Ultimately, the VAT increase on fuel paves the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future for Wanjiku and the entire nation.
This is what Kenyans expect and they will be holding the government into account.
