NAIROBI, KENYA: Kenyans will from midnight pay more for fuel products as Energy Regulatory Commission adjusts prices for a one month period to March 14.
Price of petrol has been increased by Sh4.26 per litre and diesel by Sh5.03 while Kerosene goes up by Sh3.75 per litre.
“The changes in this month’s prices have been as a consequence of the average landed cost of imported super petrol increasing by 8.45 per cent from $530.24 per ton in December last year to $575.06 in January this year,” said the regulator in a statement.
The adjustment is likely to impact on various households who depend on transport to work and transport food stuff to far areas like the urban centers from the farms.
