Unye ashikilie hapo kidogo, we see how it goes. It's too early, people are still using fuel bought on 31st August. Moreover, people are still loaded with Aug salary If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Infact they should increase petrol to 200 bob to free our roads. I know yours is a selfish thought but it's not just about your vehicle and jalopies. Infact an increment of 14/- is not that great for someone with a jalopy. The problem is the ripple effect. You raise the price of fuel, inflation goes up, cartels take advantage... it's just a mess. But what I'm wondering is, when we defer this VAT to 2020, what will be different in 2020,we will still cry the same way. And what will replace it now because the money is still needed? Maybe increase of VAT to 18% from 16?
BBI will solve it :)

In 2020 election campaigns will be in high gear and a fuel tax at that time will be a perfect reason fro wanjiku to kick out jumbiree. It's the 2022 chess game inapangwa.

I foresee alot of smuggling of fuel at the border especially by boda boda guys using the panya routes. A boda boda can carry 4 x 20l jerricans of fuel - petrol, diesel or kerosene. If he sells at 10 bob margin thats 800 bob per trip. I think soon all cars, matatus and lorries operating at the border will be fueled using the smuggled fuel.

Favours those near the border and not seeing it as inconvenience. African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

If the queues I saw today at Petro stations are anything to go by, then as a govt, I would only be worried about 'steady' supply and not reducing the 16% VAT. #BetterExpensiveEneryThanNone at all. ....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..
