NAIROBI, Kenya: Motorists and households across Kenya will continue paying unchanged fuel prices for the next month after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) maintained pump prices for the November 15 to December 14, 2026 pricing cycle.
In its latest monthly review, EPRA retained petrol at Sh226 per litre, diesel at Sh227 and kerosene at Sh219, offering consumers temporary relief from anticipated increases in petroleum prices.
The regulator said fuel prices would have risen significantly without government intervention through the Petroleum Development Levy Fund.

According to EPRA, petrol would have increased by Sh8.58 per litre, diesel by Sh10.54 and kerosene by Sh1.16 had the government not stepped in to cushion consumers.
The government has consequently drawn Sh4.6 billion from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund to stabilise pump prices during the latest review period.
The intervention comes at a time when Kenyans continue to grapple with the high cost of living, with fuel prices playing a significant role in determining transportation, production and distribution costs.
Diesel, in particular, remains a critical input for public transport operators, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery and businesses involved in the movement of goods.
For residents of Turkana County and other remote parts of the country, maintaining fuel prices could help limit additional pressure on transportation and the cost of essential commodities.
However, the decision to maintain pump prices does not automatically translate into lower transport fares or commodity prices.
The latest pricing decision will remain in force from November 15 through December 14, 2026, when the next monthly fuel price review is expected.
