Feeling the pinch at the pump? You’re not alone! The latest news from the energy sector brings a bit of a breather for your wallet. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has decided to keep fuel prices steady for the next month. This means no increase for super petrol, diesel, and kerosene.
This decision, announced on Friday, is a welcome relief, especially considering the ongoing ups and downs in the global market. “The maximum allowed petroleum pump prices… remain unchanged,” stated EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo.
So, what does this mean for you? Well, in Nairobi, the price per liter will stay at:
- Sh184.52 for super petrol
- Sh171.47 for diesel
- Sh154.78 for kerosene
This stability is crucial because it helps ease the burden on both households and businesses. Diesel, in particular, plays a big role in the cost of public transport and the price of goods.
But here’s where it gets interesting… While this is good news for now, the global market is always shifting. Do you think this price freeze is a sustainable solution, or just a temporary fix? What impact do you think this will have on the economy? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
