NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 14 – The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has reduced the price of super petrol but increased those of diesel and kerosene, in its latest review to be applied for the next one month.

The decline in super petrol has been attributed to improved import costs in the month to March compared to February.

Average costs for diesel and kerosene in the month of March went up by 3.74 percent and 7.47 percent respectively.

In Mombasa, a litre of super petrol will sell at Sh77.43, diesel Sh62.98 and kerosene at Sh41.27 for the next one month.
