Motorists will get no respite at the pump after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) retained fuel prices for the next 30 days, leaving millions of Kenyans to continue grappling with some of the country’s highest fuel costs.
In its latest monthly fuel price review released on Tuesday, EPRA announced that the maximum retail prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will remain unchanged from July 15 to August 14, 2026.
In Nairobi, Super Petrol will continue retailing at Sh214.03 per litre, Diesel at Sh222.86 per litre, while Kerosene will remain at Sh191.38 per litre.
The decision is likely to disappoint consumers and businesses that had hoped for lower fuel prices to ease the rising cost of transport and other essential goods. Fuel prices remain a key driver of inflation, with transport and production costs often passed on to consumers.
EPRA said the prices are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) and comply with the VAT Act and other applicable tax laws.
“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act, 2019, and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022, the Authority has calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products that will be in force from July 15 to August 14, 2026. During the period under review, the maximum retail pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will remain unchanged,” the regulator said.
