The Government announced new fuel prices yesterday as the country battles with the Covid-19 pandemic. Kerosene, which is used by many low income households across the country for lighting and cooking, will this morning go up by Sh2.49 per litre. The price of super petrol has been reduced by Sh9.54; that of diesel has gone down by Sh19.19 per litre. In determining the prices for this month, EPRA said it has considered new tax measures following the enactment of the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2020. The decline in the retail cost of petroleum has been due to a crash in oil prices in the global market.
