Many Kenyans expected President Uhuru to address the backlash over the sixteen per cent levy on fuel upon his arrival from China but he dealt them a shocker by opting to say nothing.
Not even a squeak.
The president, instead, unveiled changes in the police service that included new uniforms for the law enforcement officers.
Scores of Kenyans have voiced their outrage at the increase in the VAT and had called on the president to sign a bill from Parliament suspending its implementation.
Kenyans who expected him to address their concerns on VAT, his silence came as a shocker.
They will be waiting in the coming days to hear the position that he will take on the vexed issue.
The VAT increase was triggered by an arrangement with the International Monetary Fund to help Kenya service its debts.
