EPRA has cut fuel prices for the June 15 to July 14 cycle:
โ Super Petrol: -KES 0.22 (-0.1% MoM) to KES 214.03
โ Diesel: -KES 10.00 (-4.3% MoM) to KES 222.86
โ Kerosene: unchanged at KES 191.38
Extra Notes:
โ The comparison is against the revised May 19 to June 14 prices, after EPRA cut Diesel to KES 232.86 and raised Kerosene to KES 191.38 following public transport sector protests.
โ The adjustment comes as average landed costs eased for Super Petrol and Kerosene in May, with Super Petrol down 0.56% to $901.16/cubic metre and Kerosene down 0.33% to $1,328.36. Diesel landed costs rose 0.21% to $1,294.71/cubic metre.
โ EPRA says the Government will utilize ~KES 10.0B from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund to cushion prices, with subsidies of KES 34.07/litre on Diesel and KES 55.68/litre on Kerosene, while Super Petrol receives no subsidy this cycle.
After massive countryside protests over high fuel prices, EPRA has partially reversed course just four days later.
Effective May 19th, Diesel prices have now been cut by KES 10.06/litre to KES 232.86, while Kerosene jumps KES 38.60/litre to KES 191.38.
Super Petrol remains unchanged at KES 214.25/litre.
