PAIN AT THE PUMP

Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has stated new pump prices effective 15^th September 2021 to 14^th October 2021, an all-time high in the last 3 months.

In a press statement signed by EPRA’s director Mr Daniel Kiptoo Bargoria, Pump prices for all the 3 white fuels have increased; Super petrol by Kshs 7.58 per Litre, Diesel by Kshs 7.94 per Litre and Kerosene by 12.97 per Litre.

Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority, a successor of the Energy Regulatory Commission under the Energy Act 2019, is a body mandated with capping wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products already in the country so that the importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while ensuring reasonable prices to consumers.
