A group of motorists has announced plans to paralyse road transport Wednesday while business leaders have warned of a looming surge in the cost of living, as pressure mounts on the Treasury to shelve a 16 per cent tax on fuel starting next month.

Motorists Association of Kenya, a lobby which champions interests of private vehicle owners, has said it will mobilise car owners to park cars on major roads for three hours on Wednesday from 7.30am to 10.30am.
