Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has reviewed diesel pump prices downward by KSh10.06 per litre, while the price of kerosene has increased by KSh38.60 per litre.
However, the pump price for Super Petrol remains unchanged.
In Nairobi, Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will now retail at KSh214.25, KSh232.86, and KSh191.38 respectively, effective Tuesday, May 19, 2026, for the next 30 days.
The review follows Monday’s nationwide protests by public service vehicle (PSV) operators against rising fuel costs, which resulted in the deaths of four people, injuries to 30 others, and the arrest of 348 individuals.
In a statement, EPRA said it had received a petition from public transport sector operators requesting measures to minimize the risk of motor fuel adulteration that may arise due to the wide price differential between diesel and kerosene.
