The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has reduced the fuel prices by Sh1 in the May review.

The new pump prices will take effect from May 15, 2024, to June 14, 2024.

The Authority said the prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent Value Added Tax in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2020 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.

"The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 3.82 per cent from US$737.69 per cubic metre in March 2024 to US$765.87 per cubic metre in April 2024; Diesel decreased by 0.46 per cent from US$722.51 per cubic metre to US$719.21 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 0.50 per cent from US$725.31 per cubic metre to US$728.97 per cubic metre," Epra said.

A litre of super petrol decreased by Sh5.31, diesel by Sh10 per litre while kerosene was cut by Sh18.68 per litre.

The Petroleum Pricing Regulations cap the retail prices of petroleum products already in the country so that importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while ensuring reasonable prices to consumers.
