Motorists across Kenya can anticipate a significant hike in fuel costs following the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority's (EPRA) decision to raise petrol and diesel prices. Effective from this October 14, the cost of Super Petrol will escalate by Sh12.93 per litre, while Diesel will witness an increase of Sh9.90 per litre.
These hikes are expected to exacerbate transport and household expenses for Kenyans, as the price increases add to the burden on daily commuting, public transport, and business operations that heavily rely on fuel.
The price adjustments are likely to have a cascading effect on the overall cost of goods and services, with consumers potentially facing higher prices for essential commodities. EPRA conducts monthly reviews of fuel prices, taking into account elements such as the cost of importing petroleum products, the exchange rate, and other relevant expenses. These new prices are set to remain in effect until the subsequent scheduled review in mid-November.
