These figures are set to increase by at least Sh6 per liter for consumers of diesel and petrol when ERC makes adjustments for the increase in road maintenance levy. But with the new excise duty imposed, it means that Kerosene prices has cumulatively gone up by Sh10 a litre from the previous month. In a statement, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) said that it had not factored in the increase of Sh7.205 per litre in excise duty in its prices released on June 14. ERC said it was in consultation with the Kenya Revenue Authority and the Kenya Roads Board to establish the implementation date for the increase in road maintenance levy. In its monthly fuel review, the energy sector regulator increased the prices of super petrol by Sh 1.92 per litre, Diesel by 3.34 per litre while Kerosene prices went up Sh3.82 per litre.
