Deputy President William Ruto now says the ongoing public outcry over 8 per cent VAT on petroleum products is healthy for a democratic country. Ruto on Sunday said Kenyans have the power and authority to determine the affairs of their country. He said the government will, however, ensure prudent use of the funds that will be collected from the taxation amid efforts to ensure Kenyans get value for their money. "We have asked the National Transport and Safety Authority to take action against matatus that will be found to exploit Kenyans; their operating licenses will be cancelled."
