Collections from a levy meant to discourage the use of kerosene to adulterate diesel and super petrol fell to the lowest level last year amid sky-high prices of kerosene.
Analysis of official data shows that the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) collected Sh1 billion from the anti-adulteration levy in the year ended December. The levy is charged at Sh18 per litre of illuminating kerosene.
