Fuel taxes in Kenya have risen significantly, leading to a substantial portion of the total fuel cost being attributed to taxes. This increase has caused concern among consumers and businesses alike, as it impacts transportation costs and the prices of goods and services.

The hike in fuel taxes is part of the government’s strategy to increase revenue, but it has also led to widespread criticism and protests from various sectors of the economy.

The high taxation rate can affect the cost of living and operational costs for businesses, which may ultimately be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for goods and services.
