President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered that fuel prices stay the same for the ensuing 30 days.
Super Petrol will continue to cost Ksh159.12 per litre, according to a statement dated July 14 and signed by State House spokesperson Kanze Dena.
Kerosene will continue to be sold for Ksh127.94 per litre and diesel will remain at Ksh140. Following Uhuru’s approval of Ksh16.7 billion in fuel subsidies, the prices stayed the same.
“It is notified that His Excellency the President has today authorized an additional fuel subsidy of Ksh16.675 billion, so as to cushion Kenyans from a further increase in fuel prices,” read the state House statement in part.
“With today’s presidential action, diesel will continue to retail at Ksh140.00, petrol at Ksh159.12 and Kerosine at Ksh127.94. Without such State interventions, the pump prices would have been Ksh193.64 for diesel, Ksh209.95 for petrol and Ksh181.13 for Kerosene.”
