Kenya’s Energy Regulatory Commission has increased the price motorists will pay at the pump for fuel. The energy regulator said costs were increased due to the rising price of petroleum imports.

Petrol in Nairobi is now 95.13 shillings per liter. The commission increased the price of petrol by 8% in July.
