Kenyans received a rare Christmas gift from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) Sunday, after it announced a further reduction in the cost of fuel. The price reduction changes take effect today. In the new changes, kerosene, super petrol and diesel decreased by Sh4.94, Sh4.79 and Sh3.67 respectively.
And for the first time in years, the price of super petrol will hit the below historic Sh100 mark as it will be retailing between Sh98.68 and Sh99.91 in Mombasa and other nearby coastal towns. In Nairobi, the commodity will be available in pumps at Sh 102.01.
