SHOCKING: Ndindi Nyoro Reveals Secret Plan to Cut Fuel Prices

[00:00:00]has happened before.

[00:00:01]We have I can witness it through history periods where we saw press conferences of increasing, for example, fares.

[00:00:10]But I'm here to see one of when the situation then becomes better. I've never seen a press conference of calling for the deceleration or the decrease in fares.

[00:00:23]The budget and appropriation committee is expected to grill the Kihara MP on his proposed reforms to Kenya's fuel pricing structure, which he says are designed to make petroleum products more affordable for the citizens. Ndindi Nyoro is pushing a policy package that targets key components of fuel pricing, including taxation, levies, and distribution costs. At the center of his proposal is a call to reduce the road maintenance levy by up to seven shillings per liter, alongside a push to eliminate the value-added tax currently charged on petroleum products. He argues that these measures would immediately lower the pump price of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene, offering relief to millions of Kenyans who rely on fuel for transport, cooking, and business operations. If adopted, the proposal would also see VAT on fuel reduced from the current 8% to zero, a move that would significantly change government revenue collection from the petroleum sector. However, the proposal is not without controversy. Members of Parliament are expected to closely examine the fiscal implications of such tax cuts, particularly on national revenue and infrastructure funding. Fuel levies remain a key source of funding for road construction and maintenance across the country. Any reduction therefore raises concerns about how the government would finance ongoing and planned infrastructure projects. The parliamentary committee is expected to balance two competing priorities, easing the cost of living for Kenyans and maintaining stable government revenue.

[00:02:15]Lawmakers will be evaluating whether the proposed reductions could create a budget deficit or force the government to seek alternative funding mechanisms.

[00:02:25]Treasury officials have in the past cautioned that significant cuts in fuel taxes could destabilize the fiscal framework unless accompanied by clear replacement revenue strategies. Or the decrease in fares.

[00:02:40]That's one example I'm using.

[00:02:42]Because some of these parameters are sticky.

[00:02:45]When they go up inflationary pressures many times are sticky.

[00:02:49]Going up is is is usually very default setting.

[00:02:54]Because you because of the cost push inflation.

[00:02:58]Coming down however is usually very sticky.

[00:03:02]So I thought probably we may end up letting things flow.

[00:03:08]But then we pay a dire price to the economy in the future.
