The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced
an increase in prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene effective January
15 to February 14, 2025.
EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo, in a statement released
on Tuesday, said Super Petrol would increase by Ksh.0.29, Diesel by Ksh.2, and
Kerosene by Ksh.3 per litre.
“The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in
line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act
2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal
Notice No. 194 of 2020,” read the statement.
“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by
0.14% from US$612.53 per cubic metre in November 2024 to US$611.69 per cubic
metre in December 2024; Diesel increased by 0.06% from US$643.69 per cubic
metre to US$644.10 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 1.62% from
