He cited Kenya and other African countries, saying they are also facing economic challenges due to global crises, such as the ongoing war between the United States, Israel and Iran which has affected the energy market.

The President stressed that his government will not hesitate to provide relief to the poor, and is striving to ensure regular electricity supply to boost businesses.
