The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) this week effected an increase in the road maintenance levy (RML) to Sh25 a litre of petrol and dieseal in the latest petroleum pricing cycle for July 15 to August 14.
The tax is collected at the fuel pump with its proceeds going into an annuity fund and the balance to road maintenance, rehabilitation, and development. How does the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) work?
