Petrol prices have dropped for the first time in five months, defying a weak shilling and the new inflation tax that kicked in last month. The new prices offer a reprieve to motorists but will hit families that use kerosene, whose price has gone up.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) Wednesday cut the price of a litre of super petrol by Sh2.86 and that of diesel by Sh3.28, citing a fall in the landed cost of the two commodities.
