The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has revised pump prices upwards in the wake of the doubling of the value added tax (VAT) on petroleum products to 16 percent, going against a court order Friday suspending the Finance Act, 2023.

Fuel prices will jump from midnight with petrol increasing by Sh13.49 per litre, diesel Sh12.39 and kerosene Sh11.96.
