Top consumers of diesel in Kenya, including the agricultural sector, road transport, industrial and power generation plants, have been denied cheaper fuel in the new pricing cycle to August 14, 2026, after the State opted to transfer potential price reliefs to petrol and kerosene products.
Fresh data shows that the landed costs of diesel fell 23.9 percent to $984.37 (Sh127,692.47) per cubic metre last month from $1,294.71 (Sh168,079.25) while petrol dropped one percent to $886.92 (Sh115,051.26) from $901.16 (Sh116,988.59) for the same quantity in the same period.
