The government Tuesday night discontinued subsidy on diesel but kept prices unchanged for the third month in a row, helping ease pressure on the exchequer amid billions of shillings in compensation arrears owed to oil marketers.
A breakdown of the pricing schedule gazetted by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows the elimination of the subsidy even as the cost of super petrol remained unchanged at Sh177.30 per litre in Nairobi and diesel at Sh162.
