I don't want to provoke a Safaricom/Zain firestorm on a fuel price thread but using your support for Zain for bringing down prices despite Safcom's various additive services, I'll avoid KK for now and use other pocket friendly alternatives. BTW, any link or documents to verify the independent surveyors report of KK stations or is it a KK marketing strategy? "When the pupil is ready to learn, a teacher will appear." -- Zen proverb

Can't believe it!.....Just fueled at 96 from the only station which has fuel near me....Hell!!.....and i understand the idiots are making a cool 12 bob as the government watches....No need to complain anyway.There was once a Mr.Mwirichia who heads ERC and he came up with a pricing formula modeled on a similar one used in SA.....He nyef nyefd about a deadline,which was later extended and that's the last thing we heard about it.....This country is run by idiots who cannot even justify why they earn from taxpayers.....ABK! Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

@Njunge, I recall and remember this move prompted Shell to reduce the pump prices to 76 when the others were at 80s.
IHO:
1. Its amazing that most people in this blog will shout against price control of essential commodities and cry loudest when things get where they are at the pump. The effect of high fuel prices on the overall economic performance cannot be gainsaid.
2. I find it ridiculous that we can celebrate price control of phone call tariff through CCK but not think the same of fuel prices.
3. The very people in government who should take measures to ensure consumers are not exploited, why? they are interested parties in oil companies. As for MPs and ministers, they get free fuel and so they don't feel it when we yap yap. Bure kabisa.
4. I suspect that the Mwirichia pricing formula should be reintroduced.

You better believe it coz that's how much I have been paying for my fuel for the past one week. It's reached a stage where I do to a petrol station and I don't want to check at the rates anymore.

@rahatupu - CCK does not regulate prices to consumers but sets the MAXIMUM INTERCONNECTION charges... As for fuel/petrol... Thanks to the idiots/crooks at MoE the process of importing fuel is becoming a monopoly... an inefficient one at that too. It favors the lousy/inefficient NOCK & some firms that seem to have a monopoly on imports... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

On all Safaricom threads, @vvs shouts at the top of his voice in support of Zain and their low charges despite all the additives by safaricom. Reading this thread, one cannot believe this is the same @vvs!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
