KAMPYONGO TELLS UPND ‘PRAISE SINGERS’: YOU’LL ALSO FEEL THE IMPACT OF FUEL PRICE HIKE

…government must find ways of lessening the burden on people.

Speaking on Radio Phoenix’s Let the People Talk Programme this morning, the former Minister of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo has warned UPND sympathisers who are known as “praise singers” that the fuel price increment announced yesterday affects everyone.
He said “praise members” will try as much as possible to justify and defend the price hike but they’ll reach a point where they can’t even buy data bundles.

He, however, challenged government to find ways of lessening the burden on the people despite the increase being tied to what is obtaining on the world market as a result of the Ukraine crisis.

Yesterday, the Energy Regulatory Board (ERB increased the price for petrol to K26.50, low Sulphur diesel to K26.22 and that of Kerosene to K19.32 per liter.
