Motorists in Kenya will have to pay more at the pump after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) on Thursday hiked fuel prices in the latest review. 

EPRA said the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene for the next 30 days will from Friday midnight go up by Sh0.17, Sh4.57 and Sh3.56 a litre respectively.

The new prices will be effective from midnight until February 14 and will see car fueling become a tad costlier for the next month as Kenyans grapple with a tough January dubbed ‘Njaanuary’. 

According to EPRA, the hiked prices are due to increased weighted average cost of imported refined petroleum products.

Last month’s review, super petrol retailed at the pump for Sh106.82, Diesel at Sh91.82 and Kerosene Sh83.56 in Nairobi.
