EPRA inazindua ongezeko kubwa la bei za mafuta nchini

Mamlaka ya Udhibiti wa Nishati na Petroli (EPRA) imetangaza ongezeko la bei za mafuta kwa mzunguko wa Aprili-Mei 2026, na petroli ikipanda kwa Ksh28.69 kwa lita hadi Ksh206.97 huko Nairobi. Dizeli imepanda kwa Ksh40.30 hadi Ksh206.84 kwa lita, wakati shitari imebaki bila kubadilika kwa Ksh152.78. Ongezeko hili linatokana na bei za kutua zilizopanda sana pamoja na ushuru na kodi nyingi.

EPRA ilitangaza bei mpya za mafuta Jumanne, Aprili 14, 2026. Huko Nairobi, bei ya juu kabisa ya petroli ni Ksh206.97 kwa lita, dizeli Ksh206.84, na shitari Ksh152.78.

Bei za kutua zimepanda sana: petroli kwa asilimia 41.53 kutoka Ksh75,237.72 (US$582.11) hadi Ksh106,485.20 (US$823.87) kwa mitaiba tatu. Dizeli ilipanda kwa asilimia 68.72 hadi Ksh138,711.10 (US$1073.2), na shitari kwa asilimia 105.15 hadi Ksh169,566.95 (US$1311.93).

Baada ya kutua, bei za petroli, dizeli na shitari zilikuwa Ksh107.23, Ksh133.89 na Ksh170.86 kwa lita. Ushuru wa excise ni Ksh21.95 kwa petroli, Ksh11.37 kwa dizeli na shitari. Jumla ya ushuru na levy ni Ksh82.09 kwa petroli, Ksh74.90 kwa dizeli, na Ksh68.03 kwa shitari.

Hekima za wauzaji ni Ksh17.39 kwa petroli, na gharama za usambazaji Ksh4.93. Bei za sasa zinaonyesha pengo kubwa kati ya gharama ya msingi Ksh107 na bei ya dawa Ksh206.97, kutokana na ushuru uliojaa na kodi.

Oil firms hike fuel prices again on April 7

Oil companies raised fuel prices again on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, with diesel hikes up to P19.80 per liter. The increases stem from ongoing US-Iran tensions and global oil supply disruptions. This marks the 13th to 15th consecutive weekly rise.

Petrol stations in Nairobi and surrounding areas are selling fuel below the EPRA maximum of KSh214 per litre for the May-June cycle, with some offering prices as low as KSh211. This is possible because EPRA sets only a ceiling price rather than a fixed rate.

Kenya's government has spent more than Ksh 11 billion in two months to keep diesel and kerosene prices steady. The move has raised questions because kerosene makes up less than 1 per cent of national fuel use.

South African petrol prices will rise by R3.06 per litre to R23.25 inland from midnight on 1 April, while diesel reaches a record R26.11 per litre after a R7.51 increase. The hike stems from global oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel amid the Iran war and a weakened rand. A temporary R3 per litre reduction in the fuel levy cushions the impact.
