Earlier, President William Ruto said Kenyans are going to witness a decrease in fuel prices by Sh10.

Speaking during Sunday service at ACK St Peter's Cathedral in Nyeri, Ruto said the prices will come down by Sh10, a milestone that will push the country forward, he said.

"Today the price of Unga which was Sh200 is almost hitting Sh100, the shilling has strengthened against the dollar," he said.

"Fuel prices were up but today it is going down with Sh10. All this is because we are making the right decisions and not popular decisions," the President said.

He asked leaders across the country to stay focused since they have a historic opportunity to change the country.

"The countries ahead of us put an end to poverty, industrialised, have made progress and all this is because they made the right decisions and their leaders led from the front," Ruto said.
