NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 14 – The cost of super petrol has risen further this month and starting midnight will retail at Sh112.20 per litre in Nairobi, until August 14.
In the latest pump price review by the Energy Regulatory Commission, the cost of Petrol has risen by Sh3.39 per litre while diesel and kerosene have gone down by Sh0.35 and Sh0.14 per litre respectively.
