The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced sharp increases in fuel prices, with super petrol rising by KSh 12.93 per litre, diesel by KSh 9.90 and kerosene recording the steepest hike at KSh 28.49 per litre.
The latest price adjustments are expected to put additional pressure on Kenyan households, motorists and businesses that rely on fuel for transport, manufacturing and other daily operations.
The increase in diesel prices could also raise transportation and distribution costs, potentially affecting the prices of essential commodities and other goods across the country.
Meanwhile, the sharp rise in kerosene prices is likely to hit low-income households that depend on the fuel for cooking and lighting.
The latest announcement comes amid continued public concern over the cost of living and the impact of rising fuel prices on household budgets and business operations.
Further details on the effective date and revised pump prices across different towns are necessary to establish the full impact of the latest adjustments.
