A Liter Of Super Petrol Up By Ksh 2 In Latest Review

Kenyans will have to pay more for Super Petrol after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) increased the price of super petrol by 2 shillings in the latest fuel review, while that of diesel and kerosene remains unchanged.

Petrol in Nairobi will retail at 179.30 shillings per liter for the one-month period lapsing April 14, diesel and kerosene will continue to retail at 162 and 145.94 shillings respectively.

The price of diesel has been cross-subsidized with that of super petrol while a subsidy of 23.49 shillings/liter has been maintained for Kerosene in order to cushion consumers from the otherwise high prices.
