Consumers will pay at least Sh14 more per litre of milk beginning next month in a fresh round of retail price inflation linked to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s assent to a Bill that introduces tax on dairy products.
Cooking gas, electricity, exercise books, text books and mobile phones also attract a 16 per cent tax charge under the VAT Act 2013, signalling that their prices will rise by a similar margin.
