President William Ruto’s administration has denied motorists a Sh10.94 reduction per litre of petrol in a bid to slow down the runaway cost of living by cushioning key sectors of the economy that run on diesel.

The State opted to provide a Sh18.79 a litre subsidy on diesel, with the motorists running on petrol paying half of the financial aid.
