Collections from a levy, which is meant to discourage the use of kerosene to top up the volumes of diesel and super petrol, dipped to a record low last year amid purges that rattled crooks behind the menace.

An analysis of the consumption of kerosene shows that the State collected Sh847.02 million from the anti-adulteration levy last year, marking the first time that the collections fell below the Sh1 billion mark.
