President William Ruto has said his government is working towards lowering electricity tariffs that are currently depleting the pockets of Kenyans.


This comes as Kenyans are groaning under the effects of harsh economic times.

Ruto said within three months they will consult the public and will prioritize low-income earners and manufacturers in the tariff review process. 

"In three months, we will have public consultation to ensure that we have tariffs that are affordable to those at the bottom of the economic pyramid and our manufacturers.”
