 Welcome back guys! This is Unfinished, the only place where we get to finish and finish matters. I am your host, Eski Gichunga. Do not forget to follow me on all social media platforms. Today, we're talking about increase in fuel price and the high cost of living. Which takes us to our next question. How has the increase in fuel price affected you? Let me know what you think in the comment section at Y254, hashtag Unfinished. Increasing prices of stuff. I don't know if it's true or not. But in terms of transport, I think it's true. I don't know if it's true or not. I don't know from where I need to go to. Yeah. So, the price is too high for me. Life-size is expensive. It's up to the point that it's up to an individual. To figure out if it's true or not, it will increase the income. I don't want to learn the same income. Nobody is willing to pay more for service. I want to add additional pay to what they used to pay. I have to track. There is an increase in transportation fee. Fair that is. So, if I'm living in Nimbakasi, I can pay 40 or 30 bucks. Rushing hours, I can pay 80 bucks. So, my budget is 40 bucks or 50 at most. So, I have to track some distance. So, it's up to the point that it's up to 30 bucks. So, the price is too high for me to affect. So, I have to learn how to track. I don't know if it's true or not. It's up to the point that it's up to the point that it's up to 50. So, I have to collect the fees. I don't want to learn about that because I know I have to track. But it doesn't affect that it's up to the point to pay money for things, that people think has to be fine because it comes to a price. I'm not a Tibetan Emperor. When I was a student, I had an attachment to the river. So by the time I moved from the river to the river, I didn't know where I was going. I didn't know where I was going because I didn't know where I was going. As a student, I didn't know where I was going. When I went to school, I was very busy. I went to school, I had no touch, I had a hard time. I had to go to the school because I was a bit extra cost. So I was able to go to school and I was able to go to school because I was a bit extra cost. Not really that much, but it has affected so many people are talking about the fare prices, the high cost of living and all that. It's a bit loading, it's a bit exhausting, but I believe soon as the president promised things will work out. Just let's believe in his word and everything will work out. The cost of the fair has increased as a student which is not considerable for me because as someone who is committing from home to school that is expensive for us so like I think it has affected us negatively. As a student, I'm broke. That's all I can say but as a student it definitely does because prices are what's called fair is increasing. Generally things in the market increasing. I think it's affecting everyone. I don't have a car but I buy other commodities and as I said before increase of fuel means increase of transport even for public services and it's hard considering I don't have a stable source of income so the fluctuating the going high all the time is making it hard to afford most of the things that I would afford last year. I would afford them easily then now I have to cancel out and say it's not a necessity anymore so I can continue at the moment not really because I live in town and I have my business in town but I expect that in the coming coming next maybe 10 or 14 days all the public institutions meet what means Matatus, buses, shuttles they will increase the price and then for sure it will in fact my my life or when I say when my my house girl might not have the money to come to the drop then it infects my my personal life. Actually the increase in it affects everything for instance the prices of commodities everything goes up even salary goes down because of taxation and all those things and so it affects everything yeah so transports food everything yeah. Personally I've been affected uh uh majorly on the commuter rather than the transporter uh where we used to pay 50 bob now we are paying at a hundred uh so personally I've been affected by some of this service uh transport service here in town they have raised their prices. Personally I feel so bad though because I can't even drive anymore I am forced to park my jeep but seriously though let's say for me because we're talking about personal issues right it hasn't hit me that much but I feel for the people who had a hard time initially coming up with that transport people who have small businesses people who eat from hand to mouth it must really be a burden for them and if something can be done I hope the government does actually intervene which takes us to our last question do you think high cost of fuel actually affects the cost of living let me know what you think in the comment section it's wide to five four and finished you know these things like food anything too needs transport single so the moment fuel increases uh those people who are transporting they need to add more money single so they charge those people who are transporting their goods and food stuff more money so as a player it's charge more money to transport that's a player will charge their product more more so that increase you can charge more charge more it will enter down to the to the like level you can affect like everyone in fact when you are affected suddenly those people who have enough but they want to are serving like day by day also send out like a partner here prices the product the commodities may hike okay transportation somebody has to income or compared to previous days so for instance a hundred bombs are here if you want to get to after okay let's say in the corner one kg of hunger but so that okay later like that okay reduce price of fuel to manage your product the price of this product is reduced so even standard pay it up or one tried at least some degree yeah the price of fuel the height in my height pure my shop as I said the same to them like food amount of career uh where's We are in a very difficult situation. We have to find a way to help the people. We have to find a way to help the people, to make sure they are working in a market. It has to affect us. It's not easy to find a way to live in a place like this. This is my father's house in Kila Gitu, Saii. He took me to transport oil foods. He took me to Kanbuni. He took me to Gari. He took me to Gari to transport from one place to another. He was living here. He lived here. He lived here. He lived here. He was imported. He was imported. He lived here. He lived here. He took me to the market. He took me to the market in the year 10th. He took me to the market in the year 15th and 18th. He took me to the market in the year 10th. He was affected by my life. It was affected because when the fuel is high, everything goes high. It affects everything in the shops, at home, the little basic things that we buy. Fuel affects everything. So the families who are living with 50 shillings in a day, they have to pull up. You see, it has affected. But I believe as Kenyans, when we believe with our leadership and our president, things will work. But when we put fingers, nothing will work because you're the ones to work. Not the president, it's us. It has increased the cost of living because, for example, when you are moving products from this place to the other place, obviously if the fuel prices have increased, that means that the cost of moving the products from one place to the other has increased. So if you increase the cost of moving the product from one place to the other, obviously the product will increase the price. It has obviously made it go higher, hence more difficult for the Kenyans, especially the Mwanaichi. You know those Kenyans, the rich ones, the ones who are almost on the government, then there's the government. So the government has to make sure that the products that we buy, the products that we buy, the products that we buy, the products that we buy, the products that we buy, the ones who are almost on the government, and then there's Kenyans, the people who vote and who actually suffer from going up and down. I think it's making it hard for the normal Mwanaichi to survive in this time. Many people are opting to go to the countryside because they will survive better there, but the jobs are in the urban centres, so it's a fight. Do I stay here and work, or do I go there and survive? Definitely, in many ways, because all the people who are supplying commodities to the supermarkets, to the markets, they will increase their commodities, they will increase their product what they sell, so it will reflect definitely negative on the pricing in the supermarkets, in the markets, and even the hookah on the streets, they cannot keep the prices in the way they had it in the past. It has actually affected the cost of living. Fuel is like energy. We control energy while controlling everything. We control energy and power and food. You literally control everything, so it has affected everything. If energy goes up, the cost for energy goes up, everything goes up. As everyone knows, petroleum rather than oil is everything. When the prices of petroleum go up, everything will automatically go up, because the petrol or the diesel or the mofflata, these things are basically on their daily-to-day basis. So when prices make a rise, automatically other products, other goods will rise. Increase in fuel prices does affect the cost of living. I might have mentioned earlier that we use fuel every day in transportation of goods from one place to another. This means from the farmer, to the manufacturer, to the retail shop, to the consumer, and by the time it gets to the consumer, it's usually highly priced. We have come to the end of this show. Thank you for watching. I am your host, Eski Gitonga. See you next time.
