Pump prices have hit a historic high with a litre of diesel jumping by Sh46.29 to retail at Sh242.92 effective Thursday midnight as consumers take a hit from the US-Israel war on Iran.

A litre of petrol will jump to Sh214.25, reflecting a rise of Sh16.63 while that of kerosene remains unchanged at Sh152.78. Prices of diesel and petrol would have been higher had the State not applied the subsidy. The prices will be in place for a month to June 14.
