Good News as Government Signals Possible Fuel Price Reduction amid easing global oil pressure and stable fuel supply nationwide.
The government has signaled a possible reduction in fuel prices as pressure in the global oil market eases. Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi made the announcement on May 29, 2026.
Wandayi said Kenya’s fuel supply remains stable and well-managed despite fluctuations in international markets. He assured Kenyans that fuel imports and distribution continue without disruption.
The CS noted that fuel shipments continue arriving through the Port of Mombasa as scheduled. He added that storage levels remain stable across the country.
Government Promises Relief for Consumers
Wandayi said improving global conditions could gradually lower fuel prices in Kenya. He argued that consumers will feel the benefits once markets stabilize further.
The CS also revealed that the government plans to develop regional oil refineries in the long term. He said the move will help strengthen energy security and reduce dependence on imports.
His remarks came days after President William Ruto promised another reduction in fuel prices. Ruto said diesel prices could drop further in the next EPRA review cycle.
Ruto Previously Promised Ksh10 Reduction
President Ruto recently announced plans to lower fuel prices by Ksh10 in the upcoming review. The promise followed pressure from transport operators and rising living costs.
The government continues defending its fuel management policies amid concerns over high pump prices. Officials insist current measures have helped prevent shortages and stabilize supply.
Kenyans now await the next EPRA review to see whether the expected reductions will take effect.
