Motorists will pay an extra Sh7.80 per litre of petrol as the energy regulator revises upwards the margins offered to oil marketers, triggering fears that the review could fuel inflation.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) on Wednesday said it plans to increase fuel retailers’ margins by Sh4.59 and the finance surcharge by Sh0.69 per litre, making oil marketers the biggest beneficiaries of the price review.
