This comes at a time when there is public outcry over the high cost of fuel, forcing the government to step in and stabilize prices during the latest monthly review of fuel prices last week.
In the review, Epra kept the price of petrol unchanged but lowered the cost of diesel and kerosene by Sh2 per litre which was a slight relief for consumers.
Fuel and electricity prices are set for a fresh increase on proposed changes to the law to double a levy charged on the two products to support the operations of the sector regulator.
The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2023 has proposed to amend the Energy Act of 2019 by doubling the Epra levy to a maximum of 1 percent from the current ceiling of 0.5 percent.
