The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) reduced the cost of petroleum products on Monday, November 14.
The primary factor influencing commodity pricing is the price of oil since lower energy costs make it less expensive to produce and ship food.
In the price review, super petrol, diesel and kerosene were reduced by KSh 1.
In Nairobi, super petrol retails KSh 177, diesel KSh 162, and Kerosene KSh 146. The reduction in fuel prices signals relief on basic items and electricity bills.
Following the reduction in fuel prices, EPRA reduced fuel and foreign exchange fluctuation adjustments on electricity bills.
