On Saturday, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) further announced that kerosene price will also reduce marginally.

The latest price review that goes into effect as from today will now see maximum pump prices for super petrol and kerosene reduce by Sh0.63 and Sh0.73 per litre respectively in Nairobi. 

The price of diesel has remained the same. 

In Nairobi,  alitre of super petrol will now retail at sh106.8 with the ERC attributing the reduction to a decrease in the average landed cost of the imported product. 

“The changes have been as a result of the average landed cost of imported super petrol decreasing by 1.05 per cent from $680.05 (Sh68,680) per tonne in February 2018 to $672.9 (Sh67,962) in March 2018,” said the regulator in a statement. 

Over the same period, the Kenya shilling appreciated 0.28 per cent against the US Dollar to trade at 101.16 as at the end of last month.
