Fuel prices rose to a historic high on Sunday after the complete removal of a subsidy that had cushioned Kenyans, setting the stage for a spike in the cost of living.

A litre of super is now retailing at Sh182.70 and that of diesel at Sh168.40 in Nairobi, an increase of Sh3:40 and Sh6:40 in the new prices announced last midnight.
