Kenyan petroleum dealers are threatening to halt fuel supply nationwide by the end of March 2026, demanding an upward review of fuel prices by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra).

• The United Energy and Petroleum Association (Unepa) states current prices are unsustainable due to rising landed costs from the Middle East crisis.
• Unepa chairperson Irene Kimathi is urging Epra to suspend current price regulations and allow market forces to dictate prices.
• Dealers warn that if Epra fails to act by April 15, 2026, they may divert fuel to neighboring countries with unregulated markets.
