Opiyo Wandayi Slams Gachagua Over Claims Govt Plans to Hike Pump Prices

Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi responded to Gachagua's claims that the government plans to raise fuel prices by Ksh12 per liter for petrol and Ksh9 for diesel to fund political bribes ahead of the 2027 elections. Wandayi defended the independent role of EPRA in setting fuel prices, stating that the process is governed by law, not individual political decisions. He also accused Gachagua of demanding bribes from petroleum companies during his tenure as Deputy President and noted that Kenya continues to receive petroleum supplies despite global disruptions.
