Call for Calm Over Fuel Situation
President William Ruto has appealed to political leaders to refrain from turning the current fuel supply and pricing challenges into a political battleground.
He warned that public commentary driven by politics could fuel unnecessary anxiety among citizens and undermine ongoing efforts to stabilise the energy sector.
Government Response to Fuel Concerns
The President said the government is actively engaging relevant agencies to ensure steady fuel supply across Kenya while addressing pricing fluctuations affecting consumers and businesses.
He emphasised that energy stability remains a critical pillar of the national economy and is being handled as a priority matter.
Warning Against Misinformation
William Ruto further cautioned against the spread of misinformation, urging leaders to act responsibly and avoid statements that could trigger panic buying or distort public perception of fuel availability.
He stressed that cooperation between political actors and government institutions is essential in managing the situation effectively.
Balancing Politics and Economic Stability
The remarks come at a time when fuel costs and supply consistency remain sensitive issues for households and businesses in Kenya.
The President reiterated that economic stability should not be compromised by political competition, especially on matters affecting essential commodities.
