What is the price of fuel in Kenya today?
EPRA Director-General Daniel Kiptoo confirmed the increment of fuel prices in Kenya by Ksh. 9.90.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority defended its worrisome gas prices saying they could have been higher without subsidies.
According to Kiptoo, the government of Kenya played a key role in shielding citizens against the severe impact of international fuel inflation.
Nonetheless, the cost of travel and running businesses is likely to hike by a significant margin following the EPRA address of the nation dated Thursday, April 14, 2022.
