NAIROBI, Kenya Nov 14 – The government has spent Sh4.6 billion from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund to cushion consumers against rising international petroleum prices.
The intervention has enabled the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to maintain pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene for the next 30 days.
In its monthly review released on Saturday, EPRA announced that the prices would remain unchanged between November 15 and December 14, 2026.
