Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) keeps pump prices unchanged for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene for the period from mid-November to mid-December 2026, avoiding the kind of increase some motorists had feared. Several outlets say the review results in petrol, diesel and kerosene prices that remain steady rather than falling.
The reporting also reflects the lead-up to the EPRA decision. Multiple outlets highlight that international crude oil prices have dropped, which had prompted hopes among motorists and transport operators for lower pump prices when the monthly review was announced. One outlet frames the moment as a “good news” outcome because prices are held, while another emphasizes the lack of relief because expectations of cheaper fuel are not met. Across coverage, there is focus on how the regulator’s monthly pricing mechanism responds to movements in global oil prices, and on the immediate impact for consumers in places such as Nairobi.
