“I apologize profusely since to err is human,” CS Moses Kuria after angering Kenyans last week.
On Friday September, Kuria shared a disturbing tweet about the hiking fuel prices saying that by February 2024, a liter of super petrol would be going for Kshs260.
According to him, the increase in fuel prices is as a result of the climate changes.
“I repeat. Petrol will be 260 Ksh by February. And El Nino is coming in 3 weeks that will last till March. These are global and climate change driven. Responsible leaders ought to tell the truth to prepare the people. You can throw stones at me all you want,” Kuria said last week.
In his apology, the Trade CS however said that he was forced to eat the humble pie after being advised by Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale and his master, whom he didn’t mention.
“Dear Kenyans, On Friday 15th September I made some comments indicating that the price of fuel is likely to go up in the coming months owing to global dynamics. I have since been advised by people like Dr Boni Khalwale and his master that the statement was incorrect, insensitive and ARROGANT. I am made to now understand that the price will come down,” Kuria tweeted.
