Kenyans are set to dig deeper into their pockets after the Energy Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) increased petrol, diesel, and kerosene prices by Kes 16.96, Kes 21.32, and Kes 33.13 per litre, respectively.

This means that a litre of petrol, diesel, and kerosene will now retail at Kes 211.64, Kes 200.99, and Kes 202.61 per litre in Nairobi starting September, 25.

“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 4.80% from US$739.21 per cubic metre in July 2023 to US$774.67 per cubic metre in August 2023; Diesel increased by 12.52% from US$701.99 per cubic metre to US$789.89 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 19.79% from US$690.58 per cubic metre to US$827.26 per cubic metre,” EPRA announced on its X page formerly Twitter.
