MP Ndindi Nyoro Demands Emergency Parliamentary Session Over Fuel Prices
Ndindi Nyoro, the Kiharu Member of Parliament, has written to the Speaker of the National Assembly.
Nyoro has requested that all MPs be summoned for an emergency session to debate suggestions that would reduce fuel prices by up to Ksh27 per litre.
An emergency parliamentary sitting is an impromptu or hurried legislative session called during a recess to address pressing national issues.
In letters to Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, Nyoro has requested that the 350 members be summoned for an emergency sitting.
“I respectfully write to request your consideration for the recall of the National Assembly from recess, pursuant to its mandate under the Constitution and the Standing Orders, to deliberate on urgent proposed legislative amendments aimed at reducing the cost of fuel in the country,” Nyoro writes to Wetang’ula.
We must lower Fuel Prices to avert an Economic spiral effect.

Nyoro is requesting a special session on Monday, May 18, when matatu operators and other motorists are planning a nationwide strike to protest the unprecedented fuel price increase.
“In the circumstances, I humbly request your office to favourably consider exercising its authority to recall the National Assembly from recess for the purpose of facilitating the tabling, deliberation, and consideration of the said proposed amendments,” writes Nyoro.
The National Assembly is on its long recess, which runs from May 1 to May 25, 2026. Normal House sittings will officially resume on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.
On Thursday, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a sharp fuel price hike.
EPRA’s new prices pushed Super petrol up by Ksh16.65 to retail at Ksh214.25 in Nairobi, while diesel surged by a record Ksh46.29 to Ksh242.92.

The vocal legislator is demanding that Parliament amend the VAT Act to remove the 8 per cent VAT currently charged on petroleum products to make petrol, diesel, and Kerosene VAT exempt.
According to Nyoro, this will save Kenyans Ksh15.87 and Ksh17.99 on petrol and diesel, respectively.
According to Ndindi, the government is proposing that the National Treasury release a further Ksh5 billion from the fuel subsidy kitty to further lower diesel pump prices.
This is on top of the Ksh5 billion it has already spent stabilising fuel prices in the current cycle.
