Njoroge on Tuesday July 26, said the inflation is under control despite pressure from recent increases in the fuel tax and a food prices driven uptick in June. 

The year-on-year rate of inflation reportedly rose to 5.80 percent in June from 5 percent in May.

Additionally, the retail prices of fuel went up on July 15, ushering in more pressure on the rate.

The governor told a news conference that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was quite comfortable with the dynamics.

The MPC retained the indicative Central Bank rate (CBR) at 10.5 per cent in a bid to check inflation expectations and maintain currency stability.
