Trade and Industrialisation Cabinet Secretary Kuria has said the country is making a tremendous progress in reducing the cost of goods thus lowering living cost.
The Cabinet Secretary has today listed commodities whose prices have dropped since President William Ruto took office.
Kuria said the lowering of prices of those goods is an indicator that there is progress in the country.
Over the last 3 days Maize has dropped from Sh5,600 to Sh4,900 per bag a drop of 11.5%, Kuria tweeted.
Kuria added that the price of sugar has also dropped from 7,200 shillings to 5,800 shillings per 50Kg bag by eighteen percent decrease.
“cooking Oil has reduced from 340 shillings to 280 shillings per kilogram. This is a decrease of 22%. We are heading somewhere,” he added.
In October, Ruto urged Kenyans to give him only a year to deal with the rising unga prices.
Speaking at the ground-breaking of Soweto East Zone B Social Housing, Kibra, Nairobi County, Ruto said he will also reduce the cost of living.
“I told you we must lower unga prices. I have already started that journey of lowering unga prices and reducing the cost of living, just give me one year,” he said.
Ruto said farmers have already been served a certain amount of manure that will help facilitate farming and more was coming.
“We have already given our farmer’s manure, one million and a half sacks, and will still give them six million sacks of manure so that they can grow food and the food to reach the market with a good price,” he said.
