Pain at the pump: Petrol price rises by Ksh.28, Diesel by Ksh.40 in latest EPRA review

Motorists across Kenya will pay more for fuel over the next month after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced an increase in pump prices for the period between April 15 and May 14, 2026. In its latest pricing review announced on Tuesday, EPRA indicated that the cost of Super Petrol and Diesel has gone up by Ksh.28.69 and Ksh.40.30 per litre respectively, while the price of Kerosene remains unchanged. The adjustments, EPRA said, reflect a rise in international petroleum product prices, coupled with exchange rate fluctuations and the application of statutory taxes under the Value Added Tax (VAT) framework.
