Uhuru Kenyatta Fuel Subsidy
Senator Kiprotich Arap Cherargei has taken the lead in calling for the investigation, citing evidence of corruption that was even used to finance political campaigns.
According to Cherargei, the fuel subsidy scandal has been a significant drain on the economy, which has been inherited by the current administration of H.E. Ruto.
The fuel subsidy program, which was intended to reduce the cost of fuel for Kenyan consumers, has been mired in controversy since its inception.
Critics have accused the government of mismanaging the program and using it as a way to siphon off public funds for personal gain.
“I have moved the senate to investigate the Fuel subsidy scandal under Uhuru/Tinga Handshake government. The fuel subsidy was riddled with corruption that was even used to finance Azimio-OKA campaigns !. This is the reason the economy inherited by H.E Ruto was mtumba !” reads Cherargei’s tweet.
