The government has raised fuel prices, with kerosene experiencing a particularly sharp increase. Motorists have criticized the move, citing the Ksh28.49 per litre rise in kerosene alongside increases of Ksh12.93 per litre for petrol and Ksh9.90 per litre for diesel.
The price hikes have triggered opposition among motorists, who warn of potential protests. The increases are expected to have broader economic effects, with higher fuel costs likely to feed through to transport charges and production expenses across the economy.
