Kiharu Member of Parliament, Ndindi Nyoro, has written to the Speaker of the National Assembly demanding the recall of all MPs to discuss proposals that will lower fuel prices by up to Ksh27 per litre.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

In letters seen by Kenyans.co.ke and addressed to Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, Nyoro has asked for the 350 members to be recalled for an emergency sitting.

“I respectfully write to request your consideration for the recall of the National Assembly from recess, pursuant to its mandate under the Constitution and the Standing Orders, to deliberate on urgent proposed legislative amendments aimed at reducing the cost of fuel in the country,” Nyoro writes to Wetang'ula.

Nyoro is demanding a special sitting on Monday, May 18, a day when matatu operators and other motorists have scheduled a national strike to protest the historic fuel price hike.
