In a move that’s set to impact the budgets of Kenyan households and businesses, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has rolled out revised fuel prices effective as of 12:01 am on September 15th.

As per the latest price adjustments, the updated pump prices in Nairobi are as follows: Petrol will now be sold at an eye-watering Sh 211.64 per litre, diesel at Sh 200.99, and kerosene at Sh 202.61. This represents a significant hike, with petrol seeing a surge of Sh16.96, diesel up by Sh21.32, and kerosene soaring by Sh33.13.

EPRA, in its statement, clarified that these prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in accordance with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023. The move aims to align with the government’s fiscal policies, but it inevitably places an additional financial burden on consumers.
