Fuel taxes rose by Sh13.2 billion in the six months to June as the government reaped from higher prices on the back of a spike in global crude prices.

An analysis of fuel consumption data from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) collected Sh134.85 billion, a 10.8 percent increase from the Sh121.61 billion raised in the six months to June last year.
