The State has reinstated a small subsidy to stabilise retail fuel prices for the month to September after collecting nearly Sh4 billion from motorists amid public uproar over the surge in the cost of diesel and petrol.

Oil marketers will be paid at least Sh400 million to prevent a further increase in the cost of diesel and kerosene in the period to September.
