Motorists in Kenya will continue to pay the same maximum prices for petrol, diesel, and kerosene after the latest review by the Energy Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). The decision follows an assessment of market conditions and pricing structures across major towns. EPRA confirmed that no adjustments were made to the pump prices, ensuring stability for consumers. The authority emphasized that the current pricing reflects a balance between market demands and regulatory oversight. This continuity aims to prevent sudden price fluctuations and support economic planning for households and businesses. The review also included an evaluation of supply chain efficiencies and fuel distribution networks. No immediate changes are expected, pending further market developments.
