Fuel Prices Hit The Ksh 200 Mark Per Litre

Kenyans will have to pay more for fuel products after the government hiked prices in the latest review.

In a statement on Thursday night, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) increased Super Petrol prices by Ksh16.96, Diesel by Ksh21.32 and Kerosene by Ksh33.13.

The changes that took effect on September 15, saw the retail price of a litre of Super Petrol in Nairobi rise to Ksh211.64, Diesel Ksh200.99, and Kerosene Ksh202.61.

EPRA attributed the hike in fuel prices to an increase in the weighted average cost of imported refined petroleum products.

The price increase is expected to have a significant impact on Kenyans, especially those who rely on fuel products for their day-to-day activities. It is also likely to lead to an increase in the cost of goods and services.

The government has urged Kenyans to conserve fuel products as much as possible during this difficult time.
