Kenya now has the 12th costliest fuel in Africa following the recent price review that increased pump charges by up to Sh21.32 per litre.

A litre of diesel jumped by Sh21.32 to Sh200.99 ($1.37) in Nairobi while that of super petrol rose by Sh16.96 to Sh211.64 ($1.4) in the wake of high taxes and a sharply falling shilling.
