On May 14, 2020, the Kenyan government announced a reduction in fuel prices, benefiting motorists across the country.
The decrease in prices, which will be in effect for the next month, is a welcome relief for many Kenyans who have been grappling with the high cost of living.
According to the new prices announced by the government, petrol will cost Ksh.9.54 less per litre, while diesel will cost Ksh.19.19 less per litre.
The reduction in fuel prices is expected to have a positive impact on the economy, particularly for those who rely heavily on transportation for their daily activities.
As the country continues to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, this move by the government is seen as a step in the right direction towards alleviating the financial burden on citizens.
