Gabriel Oguda, a prominent political commentator, has raised eyebrows with his recent claim that President William Ruto’s government, particularly the Ministry of Interior under the leadership of CS Kithure Kindiki, strategically selected November 13th, 2023, as the date for a national tree planting holiday.
According to Oguda, this choice is not merely about environmental concerns but has a hidden agenda. He argues that the government is well aware that the following day, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) is set to release new fuel prices, and the hustling citizens of Kenya will face the brunt of increased costs.
Oguda’s assertion is that the government intends to use the tree planting event to bolster the resilience of hustlers who will have a day off to gather strength of facing the shock that will be awaiting them. While this theory is certainly thought-provoking, the true motivations behind the selected date remain a subject of debate and speculation within political circles.
