Kenyans will be forced to dig deeper into their pockets to purchase petroleum products from Friday after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) pushed upwards the prices of fuel products in its September – October 2023 review – crossing the Sh200 mark for the first time in the country’s history.
The latest review has seen the price of super petrol go up by Sh16.96 a litre to retail at Sh211.64 in Nairobi and its environs, diesel will now retail at Sh200.9 per litre, while kerosene will sell at Sh202.6 per litre.
Prices of diesel and kerosene have risen by Sh21.32 per litre and Sh33.13 per litre respectively.
