Petrol Price Rises by Ksh 16, Diesel Ksh 46 in New Review - May 2026
Kenyan motorists are bracing for significant pain at the pump as fuel prices surge in the latest review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). The new prices, effective from 15th May to 14th June 2026, see a substantial jump in the cost of Super Petrol and Diesel, with petrol increasing by Ksh 16.65 and diesel by Ksh 46.29 per litre. Motorists and households in Kenya are facing significantly higher transport and energy costs as a result of these changes. Additionally, fuel stations across Kenya are experiencing widespread stock-outs due to a cash-flow crisis at the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) and delays in subsidy payments. Matatu operators have announced a proposed 50% fare hike and threatened a nationwide strike starting Monday if the government fails to intervene on rising fuel costs. Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has proposed immediate legislative changes including VAT cuts and levy removal to significantly reduce fuel prices below Sh190 per litre.
