Diesel down by Ksh.10, kerosene up by Ksh.38 as EPRA revises pump prices after PSV strike
Audio By Vocalize
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has lowered the pump price of diesel by Ksh10.06 per litre while raising kerosene by Ksh38.60 in a mid-cycle review announced after a day of protests and a transport shutdown by PSV operators over high fuel costs.
EPRA said it recalculated the maximum pump prices to be in force from May 19, 2026 to June 14, 2026 following a petition by public transport operators, citing the need to minimise the risk of fuel adulteration arising from the price difference between diesel and kerosene.
Under the new prices, Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will now retail at Ksh214.25, Ksh232.86 and Ksh191.38 per litre, respectively, effective midnight until June 14. EPRA said the price of super petrol remains unchanged.
The move comes a day after matatu operators and other transport stakeholders called a nationwide strike, disrupting movement in several towns as they demanded tax cuts and other interventions to lower pump prices.
