Kenyan motorists are set to pay more for fuel as the Government seeks to increase the fuel levy charge eroding gains currently enjoyed from falling global oil prices. Kenya Roads Board has proposed an increase in the fuel levy currently pegged at Sh9 per litre by at least 30 per cent in a move meant to raise more funds for road maintenance in the country.
“The estimated annual maintenance costs is Sh40 billion per year and an increase of fuel levy at least by Sh3 is recommended to bridge the maintenance gap,” read a statement from the agency.
