Fuel prices are to remain unchanged between December 15 and January 14, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced
Fuel prices are to remain unchanged between December 15 and January 14, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced.
For the third month in a row, the regulator announced the pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene retail at Ksh184.52, Ksh171.47 and Ksh154.78, respectively, in Nairobi.
“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th December 2025 to 14th January 2026,” a notice from EPRA read.
Expectedly, the latest pump prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
In Mombasa, the pump prices are marginally lower for the next month, with petrol set to retail at Ksh181.24, while diesel will retail at Ksh161.19. Kerosene, meanwhile, will retail at Ksh151.49.

Elsewhere, in Nakuru, super petrol will retail at Ksh183.56, while diesel will retail at Ksh170.87. Kerosene will go for Ksh154.21.
According to EPRA, the average landing cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by more than Ksh3000 (4.25 per cent) between October and November, going from Ksh79,712.54 per cubic metre to Ksh76,326.49.
For diesel, there was an increase in landed cost from Ksh81,760.91 in October to Ksh84,231 in November. Kerosene also saw its landed cost increase by 5.62 per cent during the same period, from Ksh81,388.83 per cubic metre to Ksh85,880.82 per cubic metre.
While there is no relief in terms of lower pump prices, the unchanged figures will come as a relief for Kenyans, particularly because the festive period marks one of the busiest periods for the transport industry, which is heavily reliant on petrol and diesel.
