The recent hike in fuel prices in Kenya is attributed to geopolitical tensions stemming from the conflict between Iran and Israel, according to Martin Chomba, Chairman of the Petroleum Outlets Association of Kenya.

• Super Petrol prices increased by Sh8.99 to Sh186.31 per litre as of July 15, 2025.
• Chomba emphasized that Kenya's fuel pricing system reflects past prices due to a weighted average approach.
• The imposition of a 16 percent VAT on imported fuel is criticized as unjustified, significantly affecting pump prices.
