The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has opposed the increase in fuel prices as announced on Sunday, citing tough economic times. ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna termed the price changes shocking, “coming soon after the previous ones and just as the country is going into a third wave of the pandemic”. The ODM official noted that it has been exactly one year since Covid-19 was first reported in Kenya, creating job losses, collapsing industries and winding up SMEs. Central to this tragedy has been the cost of energy, which has an impact on every facet of our lives,” he said. We therefore unequivocally state that we are opposed to this increase in the prices of fuel.
