Trade and Industry CS Moses Kuria has issued an apology to Kenyans following his remarks on fuel.
The CS is on record telling Kenyans to prepare for a hike in prices of fuel saying it will increase by Sh10 going forward every month.
But in a turn of events, the CS in a message he posted on the X platform said he has been made to understand the prices of fuel will climb down hence his apology.
"Dear Kenyans. On Friday, September 15, I made some comments indicating that the price of fuel is likely to go up in the coming months owing to global dynamics. I have since been advised by people like Dr Boni Khalwale and his master that the statement was incorrect, insensitive and arrogant," CS Kuria said.
"I am made to now understand that the price will come down. I apologise profusely since to err is human."

The apology by CS Kuria comes after DP Gachagua asked leaders to tone down when addressing Kenyans saying they ought to remember Kenyans are their bosses.
The DP said there is a need for leaders to exercise humility saying it is Kenyans who employed President William Ruto who in turn appointed them into office.
Speaking on Tuesday after addressing the 36th General Conference of the International Scientific Council of the Trypanosomiasis Research and Control at PrideInn Hotel in Mombasa, the Deputy President said Kenyans deserve to be treated with respect and listened to all the time, more so during difficult times.
"All of us given the privilege to serve should do so with humility. We should have empathy with the people we are taking care of, respect those under us, and address them with respect and decorum. It costs you nothing," urged the DP.
He said those employed in public service should always be keen on how they address citizens.
"If you serve the people of Kenya, those are your bosses, they are your employers. You should dignify them by the way you address them," he added.
