Motorists and households across Kenya will not pay more—or less—for fuel over the next month, as the government has opted to maintain the current retail prices of petrol, diesel and kerosene despite a global decline in import costs.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced on Tuesday that pump prices will remain unchanged between Wednesday and June 14, 2025, offering a temporary reprieve for consumers but no immediate relief at the pump.

The decision was reached in line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, which empowers the regulator to set the maximum retail prices for petroleum products in the country.

In a statement, EPRA said, “In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged.”

This means that in Nairobi, a litre of Super Petrol will continue to retail at Sh174.63, Diesel at Sh164.86, and Kerosene at Sh148.99

The unchanged prices come despite a notable reduction in the average landed cost of all three fuel types in April 2025. Imported Super Petrol declined by 2.95 per cent, falling from US$606.06 per cubic metre in March to US$588.16.

Diesel saw a sharper dip of 6.62 per cent, dropping from US$636.75 to US$594.60, while Kerosene fell by 4.52 per cent from US$628.22 to US$599.84 per cubic metre.

Nonetheless, these decreases have not translated into lower prices at the retail level.

The next price review is expected in mid-June, when the regulator will assess the global cost trends afresh and determine whether Kenyan consumers can finally expect a reprieve.
