The Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has reduced the cost of Diesel by KSh10.06 per litre and increased the cost of Kerosene by KSh38.60 per litre.
The price for Super Petrol remains unchanged.
Given the above just-announced changes, in Nairobi, Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will now retail at KSh214.25, KSh232.86 and KSh191.38 per litre, respectively, effective midnight for the next 30 days.
Okay i have a question, who uses kerosene at this time and era? like why is it so hard for these clowns to think? wakiua mtu, a stupid excuse is given, they do something that doesn't sit right with netizens, a stupid excuse given and go around looking for idiots who can rally people into believing their childish lies. n now increase fuel, the war in iran, every nation has increased their fuel.excuse after excuse.
I think tunafaa kuwabadilishia majina from their excelencies to their excuselencies, coz tell me why increase fuel by such absurd amounts only to later reduce by not even quarter of increment? Alafu uskie mtu akisema government is working, wamejenga barabara, avoidable housing na talanta stadium.
Mind you Kangundo road is a good example, hasn't even finished a year n it's already with potholes, Ngong road nliona a stretch of less than 2km being constructed alafu tuambiwe fuel levy inatumika vile inafaa. even a chicken thinks wisely at this point.

The nationwide public service vehicle (PSV) strike entered its second day on Tuesday, with transport disruptions persisting in several parts of the country as operators maintain pressure on the government over high fuel prices.
Transport operators said the price changes, coupled with taxes and levies, had made it difficult to operate without raising fares beyond what commuters can afford.
On Monday, protests were reported in several towns, with some roads blocked by burning tyres and stones. Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen said four people died and more than 30 were injured during the demonstrations, adding that 148 suspects had been arrested. He blamed “rogue politicians” for mobilising gangs to loot and burn property, including a UDA office in Wote and trucks at the Rironi–Mau Summit road project site.
The government has insisted the fuel price shock is driven by global factors linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran. National Treasury CS John Mbadi has said the government has limited room for further concessions, citing budget pressures, but confirmed talks were planned with matatu operators.
“We have a meeting… with the National Treasury, the Ministry of Transport… and the Ministry of Energy… together with the matatu operators… to explore any possibility of further action that can be taken,” Mbadi said.
As the strike extended into Tuesday, pressure mounted on the government to intervene, with former Chief Justice David Maraga calling for Parliament to convene and approve tax relief measures, including exempting fuel products from VAT and temporarily removing levies.
Meanwhile, EPRA on Monday night announced a recalculation of the maximum pump prices for the period from May 19 to June 14 after a petition by public transport operators, citing the need to minimise the risk of fuel adulteration arising from the diesel-kerosene price difference.
Under the revised prices, diesel was reviewed downwards by Ksh.10.06 per litre while kerosene increased by Ksh.38.60, with super petrol unchanged. EPRA said super petrol, diesel and kerosene will now retail at Ksh.214.25, Ksh.232.86 and Ksh.191.38 per litre, respectively, effective midnight to June 14.
