Transportation of petroleum products by road from the port of Mombasa remains cheaper than using the new Sh48 billion oil pipeline, the Energy regulator told Parliament on Wednesday.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) said road transport of petroleum products from Mombasa to Eldoret is cheaper by between Sh1,500 ($15) and Sh2,000 ($20) per cubic metre compared to pipeline transport.
