Kenyan fuel prices surge due to Middle East conflict.

Kenyan fuel prices surged on April 15, 2026, with diesel and super petrol rising by over Sh40 and Sh28 per litre respectively. The increase, attributed to global oil market disruptions from the conflict in the Middle East, is the steepest since 2010. While government subsidies helped cushion the blow, shortages and rising transportation costs are expected to impact the economy.
