Kenyans may have to wait longer for a substantial reduction in fuel prices after Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi<\/strong> warned that volatility in the Middle East continues to affect global petroleum markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking in Nairobi on Wednesday, September 2, Wandayi urged Kenyans to remain patient, noting that the government is grappling with a rapidly changing international environment. His remarks came ahead of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA)<\/strong> announcement of new fuel prices for the September 15\u2013October 14 cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe shall continue to work with all stakeholders, even as we contend with the fact that the situation at the global stage remains very fluid,\u201d Wandayi said during a meeting with TukTuk operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CS explained that while Kenya is transitioning towards e-mobility<\/strong>, petroleum products remain critical to the country\u2019s transport and energy needs. He highlighted measures taken to stabilize supply and cushion consumers, including reducing Value Added Tax (VAT)<\/strong> on petroleum products from 16 percent to 8 percent and deploying subsidies through the Petroleum Development Levy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EPRA is expected to announce new prices on September 14, covering Super Petrol, diesel, and kerosene. The review comes amid renewed tensions between Iran and the United States<\/strong>, with Washington launching airstrikes on Iranian Revolutionary Guard assets along the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>. <\/kbd><\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese measures have significantly helped in mitigating the impact of the raging crisis in the Middle East,\u201d Wandayi stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EPRA is expected to announce new prices on September 14, covering Super Petrol, diesel, and kerosene. The review comes amid renewed tensions between Iran and the United States<\/strong>, with Washington launching airstrikes on Iranian Revolutionary Guard assets along the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>. The escalating conflict has raised concerns about disruptions to global oil supplies, given the strait\u2019s strategic importance as a key route for petroleum shipments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
