Kenyan President William Ruto said the government is working towards lowering electricity tariffs in the next three months.

The President said the government 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.”

He was speaking during a New Year Sunday service at Siloam Ministry, Bamburi, Mombasa County. First Lady Rachel Ruto and Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir were among other leaders that accompanied the President.

The President also said the government will work to end Kenya’s debt burden, which was affecting service delivery.

He also encouraged Kenyans to plant trees to reverse the adverse effects of climate change.
