Changes in Landing Costs

Kiptoo explained that reviewed prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.

“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.46% from US$623.71 per cubic metre in July 2025 to US$620.84 per cubic metre in August 2025; Diesel decreased by 3.38% from US$635.58 per cubic metre to US$614.08 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 2.93% from US$628.02 per cubic metre to US$609.59 per cubic metre over the same period,” Kiptoo said.

 Petroleum Pricing Regulations

Kiptoo explained that the review is meant to ensure full recovery of import and other associated costs while protecting consumers from volatile global oil prices.

“The purpose of the Petroleum Pricing Regulations is to cap the retail prices of petroleum products which are already in the country so that importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while ensuring reasonable prices to consumers,” he said.

“EPRA wishes to assure the public of its continued commitment to the observance of fair competition and protection of the interests of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors.”
