Motorists across Kenya will continue paying the same prices for fuel after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced that pump prices will remain unchanged for the pricing cycle running from July 15 to August 14, 2026.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the regulator said the maximum retail prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will stay at their current levels for the next 30 days, despite ongoing fluctuations in the global oil market.

Motorists in Eldoret will continue paying Sh214.18 per litre for Super Petrol, Sh223.61 for Diesel and Sh192.15 for Kerosene.

In the central region, Nyeri will maintain fuel prices at Sh213.81 for Super Petrol, Sh223.23 for Diesel and Sh191.77 for Kerosene. In Embu, Super Petrol will retail at Sh213.70, Diesel at Sh223.12, and Kerosene at Sh191.66.

In the eastern region, motorists in Kitui will buy Super Petrol at Sh214.42 per litre, Diesel at Sh223.87, and Kerosene at Sh192.41, while those in Mwingi will continue paying slightly more because of additional transport costs.

Fuel prices remain higher in some northern parts of the country due to logistical expenses. In Lamu, Super Petrol will retail at Sh216.18 per litre, Diesel at Sh225.77 and Kerosene at Sh194.31. In Hola, motorists will pay Sh216.57 for Super Petrol, Sh226.18 for Diesel and Sh194.72 for Kerosene.

Meanwhile, motorists in Taveta will continue paying Sh214.64 per litre for Super Petrol, Sh224.11 for Diesel and Sh192.65 for Kerosene.

EPRA said the prices include Value Added Tax (VAT) as provided under the VAT Act, the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and Legal Notice No. 128 of July 14, 2026.

The regulator reported that the average landed cost of imported fuel in June stood at US$886.92 per cubic metre for Super Petrol, US$984.37 for Diesel and US$1,028.17 for Kerosene.

EPRA said the decision to maintain current pump prices was supported by government measures aimed at cushioning consumers from sharp movements in international oil prices.

The authority noted that uncertainty in the Middle East continues to fuel volatility in global oil markets. To keep local prices stable, the government has extended the 8 per cent VAT on petroleum products for another three months and released Sh945 million from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund.

Kenya imports all its refined petroleum products, with local pump prices largely determined by global fuel prices, exchange rate movements and statutory levies.

EPRA added that the country’s fuel pricing framework is designed to protect consumers from excessive price increases while allowing oil importers and marketers to recover legitimate operating costs.
