Kenyans will have to dig deeper into their pockets after oiL prices shot up.
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) unveiled new oil prices effective June 14, to July 15.
According to the revised prices, the cost of super petrol increased by Sh1.92 per litre while the price of diesel rose by Sh3.34 per litre.
On the other hand, consumers of kerosene will have to pay Sh3.82 more for a litre of the same.
This means residents of Kisumu will for the next one month pay Sh88.21 for a litre of super petrol, Sh75.94 for a litre for diesel and Sh52.77 for a litre of kerosene.
Fuel prices will be lower in Mombasa where a litre of super petrol will retail at Sh82.78 while a litre of diesel will retail at Sh70.36.
On the other hand, kerosene will retail at Sh47.98.
The energy regulator attributed the rise in prices to the rise in the average cost of imported super petrol increasing by 3.64 per cent from $472.95 per tonne in April to $490.18 in May.
ERC further said the average landed cost of imported diesel during the period increased by 9.19 per cent from $374.60 per tonne in April to US $409.02 per tonne in May.
In addition, the average landed cost of imported kerosene increased by 12.63 per cent from $415.75 per tonne in April to $468.28 per tonne in May.
This is the sixth month in a row when oil prices have gone up in the country, an indicator that residents should be prepared for tough times ahead as the prices are going to have an impact on the prices of other goods and services.
