NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 14 – Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has hit out at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over his remarks on fuel prices, accusing him of lacking the knowledge to comment on the management of petroleum costs.
Wandayi, who accompanied President William Ruto on his tour of West Pokot, dismissed Gachagua’s views on fuel pricing, saying the process was independently handled by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), rather than individual government officials.
“Let me tell you, Mr Wamunyoro. There is nothing that you know regarding fuel prices in this country because you were a one-term MP. Fuel prices are managed independently by EPRA and not individuals within government,” Wandayi said.
