Diesel prices have increased by Sh2 per litre, the first time in over a year in what looks set to hit motorists and pile pressure on inflation rates that have been on a drop in recent months.
A litre of diesel will retail for Sh167.06 in Nairobi for the next price cycle to February 14, up from Sh165.06, while that of petrol marginally rose to Sh176.58 from Sh176.29 in the capital, ending a 14-month period of sustained drops as the shilling steadily strengthened against the dollar.
