The Daily Nation on Tuesday had a familiar, but wonderful, story about the response of Kenyans at the border with Tanzania to the increase in fuel prices. It said dozens of Kenyan motorists and boda boda riders were flocking to Tanzania to fuel up.
“Kenyan motorists who cross into Tanzania for fuel save Ksh27.46 and Ksh14.23 for a litre of petrol and diesel respectively,” it reported, quoting a motorist as saying: “Cheap fuel is being sold on the side streets. We know it’s illegal, but we are forced to buy. It is survival for the fittest.”
