Vihiga residents are a happy lot after the ERC reduced fuel prices. Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) reduced prices of Diesel by Ksh 10.04, Super Petrol reduced by Ksh 9.33 and Kerosene by Kshs 3.52. A few of the residents speaking to West Media applauded ERC for reducing fuel prices saying this will bring down the cost of living.
A section of bodaboda operators noted that the move by ERC will also help bring down the cost of transport in the country.
Some of them remained adamant that the cost of living will still remain high despite reducing the prices of petroleum products. “Am sure the cost of transportation we still remain the same, hence contributing largely to the high cost of living,” one of the residents said. They urged the government to make sure Public Service Vehicles bring down transportation prices.
