The recent hike in fuel prices by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has left Kenyan motorists and motorbike riders reeling. The price of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene increased by an average of Sh9 on July 15.

• Super petrol now costs Sh8.99 more per liter, while diesel and kerosene rose by Sh8.67 and Sh9.65, respectively.
• Steven Mutiso, a Bolt driver, highlighted the negative impact on daily earnings, noting companies won't raise driver pay.
• The price increase is attributed to a rise in the landed cost of fuel, climbing 6.45% from $590.24 to $628.30 per cubic metre.
