Kenya Announces Road Projects and Sh1 Fuel Price Reduction - August 2025

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced a reduction in the prices of super petrol and kerosene by Sh1 per litre in its latest monthly review. In a move to improve road safety, the Kenyan government also plans to establish resting places for lorries on major highways. Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir announced the initiative, which aims to curb fatigue-related crashes. Additionally, the government will expand road sections at identified blackspots. In a related infrastructure decision, the Environment and Land Court has allowed 0.1233 hectares of Karura Forest to be used for the expansion of Kiambu Road, overturning a larger previous approval after a legal challenge.

  • The Green Belt Movement, co-founded by Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai, filed the petition challenging the proposed expansion.
  • The court revoked two special user licenses issued by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), citing the absence of public participation.
