As the Petroleum regulator announced another hike in fuel prices effective Friday, September 15, several Kenyans have expressed frustration over the ever rising cost of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest review, petrol prices have shot up by almost Ksh17, pushing the price per litre in Nairobi to Ksh211.64.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, just shortly after the price was hiked to reflect the government\u2019s move to raise VAT on petroleum products from 8% to 16%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A section of Kenyans said they were now seeking divine intervention to help them make ends meet following the high cost of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI have three children under the age of 10 and the school fees and general upkeep is costly. Then when I see the cost of things rising every day, I don\u2019t need a reminder to take my contraceptives. I cannot afford to have more children with this economy.\u201d one kenyan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
