Taifa LeoThe Swahili paper reported that President William Ruto reiterated that the cost of living had decreased due to his government's specific efforts to boost food production through the affordable fertiliser distribution program for farmers. "The cost of living is now decreasing, and Kenyans are experiencing relief. Saturday NationThe publication reported that Azimio leader Raila Odinga asked Kenyans to blame President William Ruto's government for the rising cost of living, saying the opposition had no powers to act on it. He said that lowering the cost of living is the responsibility of the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition and that his team should not be blamed for the high cost of living that has been on a steady rise. Raila noted that the role of the opposition is simply to keep on reminding the government that the cost of living is very high".
