The revised pricing will take effect from midnight on June 15 through midnight on July 14, when EPRA will publish the next review.

"In the period under review, the pump prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene increase by Sh9.00 per litre respectively. Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will now retail at Sh159.12, Sh140 and Sh127.94 per litre respectively in Nairobi starting midnight," EPRA said in the statement.

The government will use the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) to protect consumers from otherwise exorbitant costs, according to EPRA.
