A parliamentary committee has declared the Sh5.40 levy on a litre of diesel invalid, setting the stage for removal of the charge that has partly led to costly fuel.

The National Assembly committee on Delegated Legislation says that the Ministry of Petroleum did not seek public views ahead of issuing regulations that sought to give legal backing to the collection of the levy from diesel.
