The government subsidised diesel and kerosene prices by the biggest margin in eight months, keeping the overall prices unchanged for the monthly pricing cycle that lapses on January 14, 2026, helping avert inflationary pressure on the economy.
A subsidy of Sh5.67 per litre of diesel and Sh9.10 per litre of kerosene has helped to keep prices of the two fuels unchanged at Sh171.47 and Sh154.78, respectively, in Nairobi. Petrol prices did not fall despite a drop in the shipment costs of the product.
