Kenyan consumers unknowingly paying inflated prices due to hidden markups and short-changing across essential goods

Kenyan consumers are systematically overcharged on everyday necessities like bread and fuel through deceptive pricing practices, hidden markups, and short-changing by retailers and distributors. Consumers lack transparency into actual costs and have no reliable way to verify they're getting fair value, making them vulnerable to exploitation on products they buy daily and cannot avoid.
