The fuel price before the latest increase announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), for the period April 15 to May 14, 2026, was:

  •  Super Petrol in Nairobi retailed at Ksh. 206.97 per litre.
  •  Diesel was Ksh. 206.84 per litre.
  • Kerosene retailed at Ksh. 152.78 per litre.

Government Measures

According to EPRA, the prices are covered by the Value Added Tax (VAT), in line with the VAT Act, the Finance Act, 2023. They are also in accordance with the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, 2024, and the revised rates of excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.

This cycle, the government will support consumers via the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) Fund, allocating about Kshs. 5 billion to stabilise Diesel and Kerosene, EPRA noted on Facebook.

The significant fuel price hike is likely to spark fresh debate on taxation and government intervention, as pressure mounts for authorities to cushion Kenyans from the rising cost of living.
