EPRA Reveals How KSh6.04 Billion Fuel Subsidy Will Be Shared Among Oil Marketers and Three Importers

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has revealed how Ksh6.04 billion will be distributed in fuel subsidy payments during the 15 April–14 May 2026 pricing cycle.

The funds were used to stabilize pump prices for petrol, diesel, and kerosene by cushioning consumers from fluctuations in global crude oil prices.

In a letter addressed to the Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary dated ay 13, EPRA provided a breakdown of how the subsidy will be shared among oil marketers and three importers under the Government-to-Government (G-to-G) arrangement.

“The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has tabulated the volume of petroleum products that was factored in the computation of pump prices for the period 15th April 2026 to 14th May 2026,” the letter reads in part.

“In addition, EPRA has provided a breakdown of the amounts due to each importer and each Oil Marketing Company for purposes of stabilization of pump prices for Super Petrol (PMS), Diesel (AGO), and Illuminating Kerosene (IK) for the April 15, 2026 – May 14, 2026 pricing cycle.”
