Transport players in Nakuru County have registered their disappointment over the latest marginal drop in fuel prices saying it is inconsequential.
Speaking Monday shortly after the Energy Regulatory Commission announced the changes, the operators said the drop by less than a shilling was not worth any celebration.
"The drop is insignificant. We cant celebrate over such a slight change," said Alfred Ochieng, a boda boda operator.
His sentiments were echoed by Nathaniel Kihara a tuk tuk operator who ruled out any reduction in fares due to the drop.
"We can't reduce the costs just because of that small drop. The charges will just remain the same," he added.
On Monday, the regulator announced a Sh0.92 per litre drop in the cost of super petrol while diesel also reduced by Sh 2.18 as kerosene rose by Sh 2.53 per litre.
The new prices mean that in Nakuru, kerosene will now retail at Sh43.04 up from Sh 40.15, while super petrol will retail at Sh86.34 from Sh 87.26.
According to the commission's boss Joseph Nganga, the prices of crude oil had stabilised globally signalling a near end to the free fall in the cost of crude oil.
