Motorists in Kenya will experience a delay of 30 to 45 days before seeing a drop in fuel prices, despite a recent decline in global oil costs. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) attributes this lag to import timelines and past geopolitical impacts on oil prices.

• The delay is due to a 30 to 45 day lead time for fuel imports.
• EPRA Petroleum and Gas Director Edward Kinyua explained the situation.
• Global oil prices had previously surged due to the Middle East crisis, impacting the cost of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene.
