Kenya Announces Fuel Price Cuts with Diesel Drop After Protests

Kenya's EPRA set new fuel prices effective midnight June 15 through July 14, dropping super petrol by 22 cents to KSh 214.03 per litre and diesel by KSh 10 to KSh 222.86 per litre in Nairobi, while kerosene holds at KSh 191.38.

 The diesel cut fulfills Ruto's pledge from last month's Mombasa talks with transport operators, backed by KSh 10 billion from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund to subsidize costs amid stable global supply.

Reactions range from transporters welcoming the relief to critics calling the petrol adjustment too small, as the government highlights Kenya's steady fuel availability despite Middle East tensions.
