Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna now says that there is every reason to believe that the 'noise' by the Opposition works.

He attributed the recent decision by the country's executive to have key policy decisions reversed, to calls made by the Azimio side.

"The backtracking on the government to government oil importation program, the return of fuel subsidies, the backtracking on privatization of sugar mills, writing off of their debts, backtracking by the regime on Privatization without parliamentary approval, are all indicators that our “noise” works," Sifuna claimed.

The Nairobi senator assured Kenyans that the Opposition will continue pushing for the remaining key issues that are yet to be fixed.

He said this will start with the high cost of living.

Sifuna noted that the engagement will come with mockery, but because they will be fighting for the people of Kenya, Azimio will keep pushing until the voice of the people is heard.

"Now that we dragged the ostrich to the table, we will not allow it to leave until it hears us out... Sort out Mwananchi issues."

This comes a few days after the National Treasury CS Njuguna Ndung'u announced that they had retracted the Gulf fuel import credit scheme.

This was after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expressed concerns that taxpayers might be exposed to currency-related costs.

Ndung’u said the state would allow private sector players, including oil marketing companies, banks, and credit insurance providers, to run the scheme.

The state also used the Petroleum Development Levy to cushion Kenyans from hiked fuel prices for this month.
