The decrease comes after pressure from various leaders including Raila Amollo Odinga.

Raila had asked Ruto to lower the product by Ksh50.

The reduction also followed a global drop in oil prices and the landing cost.

Before the latest review, fuel retailed at Ksh217.36, Ksh203.47, and Ksh203.06 for petrol, diesel, and kerosene respectively.

The landing cost of imported petrol decreased by 16.11 per cent in November, Diesel by 5.43 per cent, and kerosene by 6.63 per cent.

“The price of diesel has been cross-subsidized with that of super petrol to further cushion the economy, the government has opted to stabilise the resultant diesel price. Government through the National Treasury has identified resources within the current resource envelope to compensate Oil Marketing Companies,” EPRA announced.
