The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a price increase of Ksh12.93 per litre for petrol, Ksh9.90 for diesel and Ksh28.49 for kerosene, marking the first adjustment since the government stopped the fuel subsidy that had been in place for the April pricing cycle.

In Nairobi, the new pump rates stand at Ksh226.96 for petrol, Ksh227.76 for diesel and Ksh219.87 for kerosene, while in Mombasa the figures are Ksh223.81, Ksh224.61 and Ksh216.71 respectively.

EPRA Director General Eng. Edward Mwirigi Kinyua explained that the stabilisation mechanism will not be applied this cycle so that the saved funds can be reserved for future price spikes, citing local demand and the US‑Israel conflict over Iran as additional pressures.

The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) issued a statement on 14 October warning of peaceful protests unless the government addresses the rising fuel costs and provides a transparent pricing methodology.

MAK is calling for an independent review of the October‑November price adjustments, a full audit of the Government‑to‑Government petroleum import deal, and publication of detailed fuel pricing calculations, including the Petroleum Development Levy Fund’s receipts and disbursements.

The association highlighted the disproportionate kerosene increase, which rose by more than double the petrol hike despite kerosene’s smallest percentage rise in landed costs, and demanded a breakdown of taxes, freight, insurance, distribution margins and stabilisation adjustments.

MAK also urged Parliament, the Auditor‑General and the Competition Authority of Kenya to scrutinise petroleum procurement and pricing, and asked EPRA to demonstrate whether the G‑to‑G arrangement has delivered any consumer savings.
