No, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro was not addressing President Ruto regarding the rise in the cost of living.

False

The TikTok video showing Kiharu Member of Parliament (MP) Ndindi Nyoro purportedly addressing President William Ruto over the high cost of living is not recent; it was captured in 2021 when the lawmaker was addressing former President Uhuru Kenyatta regarding the same issue of the high cost of living.

On September 14, 2023, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) made an announcement regarding the price hike of petroleum products, which left many Kenyans in disbelief. This increase has resulted in elevated prices for various goods, contributing to a higher cost of living. Numerous Kenyan citizens, as well as several prominent leaders, have voiced their concerns regarding these escalated fuel prices.
