Kenya has maintained the prices of petrol, diesel, and kerosene in its latest pricing review, despite rising global crude oil prices linked to tensions in the Middle East.
The country’s energy regulator, Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), announced over the weekend that fuel prices will remain stable from March 15 to April 14, 2026.
Fuel prices in Kenya are reviewed on the 15th of each month and remain in effect until the 14th of the following month.
Under the current pricing window, a litre of super petrol in Nairobi will continue to retail at KSh 178.28, diesel at KSh 166.54, and kerosene at KSh 152.78.
In Mombasa, prices remain at KSh 175.00 for petrol, KSh 163.26 for diesel, and KSh 149.49 for kerosene. In Nakuru, petrol is priced at KSh 177.34, diesel at KSh 165.95, and kerosene at KSh 152.21, while in Kisumu, petrol sells at KSh 178.16, diesel at KSh 166.76, and kerosene at KSh 153.03.
EPRA explained that the current prices include a 16% Value Added Tax (VAT), in line with provisions under existing tax laws, including the Finance Act 2023 and subsequent amendments.
The authority noted that the ongoing Middle East conflict has not yet impacted local fuel prices, as Kenya is still relying on oil cargoes imported before the crisis began.
According to EPRA, the review considered fuel shipments received between February 10 and March 9, most of which were priced prior to the recent increase in global oil prices.
