Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has stated that Kenyan consumers will not see an immediate drop in fuel prices despite potential Middle East stability.

• A significant decline in fuel prices might be experienced from August if the Middle East remains stable and the Strait of Hormuz stays open.
• The Energy Cabinet Secretary explained that Kenya's fuel pricing mechanism uses international benchmark prices from the previous month, creating a lag.
• Current pump prices are subsidized, and any future reductions will be calculated from the actual fuel price without subsidies.
