Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has announced that Kenya has secured adequate fuel stocks to ensure uninterrupted supply ahead of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority's June-July price review scheduled for June 14.
In a statement issued on June 10, Wandayi said fuel deliveries have already been secured through the end of July. This measure aims to prevent shortages amid global energy volatility. Wandayi stated that the government will reduce diesel prices in the upcoming cycle. The commitment follows President Ruto's May announcement of a Ksh10 reduction after a transport sector strike. Current retail prices stand at Ksh232.86 per litre for diesel, Ksh191.38 for kerosene and Ksh214.25 for super petrol. These figures are expected to change from June 14. It remains unclear if the diesel price cut will exceed the pledged Ksh10 amount.
