Motorists will, from midnight, pay Sh2 more for petrol after the State increased prices of the commodity for the first time in four months but kept those of diesel and kerosene unchanged in a bid to avert public outcry over the high cost of living.

A litre of petrol will retail at Sh179.30 in Nairobi, the highest price for the commodity since Kenya started regulating pump prices in 2010.
