Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has confirmed that diesel prices will be reduced by Ksh10 in the June-July review cycle as directed by President William Ruto.
Wandayi stated on June 5 that the ministry will follow presidential instructions to implement the cut. He noted that diesel prices in Nairobi will fall to Ksh222.86 per litre once applied. Ruto directed the reduction on May 22 after meeting transport stakeholders in Mombasa. The change is set to take effect in the upcoming pricing cycle to stabilise costs. Wandayi urged transport operators to lower fares in line with any fuel price drops. He also highlighted the role of the Petroleum Development Levy in shielding consumers from higher global prices amid Middle East tensions. Super petrol and kerosene prices are scheduled for announcement on June 14.
