Motorists and households in Kenya are facing significant fuel price hikes announced by the Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) for the period of April 15 to May 14, 2026.

• Super Petrol will increase by KSh28.69 per litre, and Diesel by KSh40.30 per litre.
• The price surges are attributed to rising global oil prices, impacting Kenya's imported fuel costs.
• Government interventions include a reduction in VAT on petroleum products and the use of the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) to cushion consumers, though these measures were outweighed by international market pressures.
