Petrol, diesel, kerosene prices remain unchanged in latest EPRA review

In the fuel price review announced on Tuesday, the pump prices for petrol will continue to retail at Ksh.214.03, diesel at Ksh. 222.86, and kerosene at Ksh.191.38 in Nairobi. 

According to EPRA, the stable prices were attributed to government intervention aimed at protecting consumers from global price shocks.

"The prices are inclusive of the Value Added Tax (VAT), in line with the VAT Act, 2013 as read with Legal Notice No. 128 of 14th July 2026, 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," EPRA stated. 

The announcement comes as Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi recently announced a Ksh.945 million subsidy for the July-August cycle and an extension of the 8 per cent Value Added Tax on petroleum product for a further three months until October 14, 2026, as part of the measures aimed at cushioning consumers from the rising global oil prices. 

He noted that the subsidy, drawn from the Petroleum Development Levy, would keep the fuel prices stable. 

"As part of the Government's commitment to cushioning households and businesses from international market volatility, in consultation with the National Treasury, we have extended the application period for 8% of Value Added Tax (VAT) on petroleum products for a further three months, until 14th October 2026,” he stated.

"Further, in the July-August 2026 pricing cycle, the Government will deploy a subsidy from the Petroleum Development Levy to the tune of Ksh.945 Million to sustain the current price levels."
