[00:00:01]Without government intervention during this cycle, super petrol would today have retailed at Kenya shillings 230 shillings per liter instead of the 214.

[00:00:15]Diesel would be retailing at 277.75 shillings per liter instead of the current 232.86 86 shillings per liter and Kerosen would have retailed at 270 shillings per liter instead of the current 191 shillings per liter.

[00:00:43]Taken together across April, May and May June 2026 pricing cycles, the government has spent a total of 28.19 billion on fuel price support through direct stabilization measures and tax relief interventions.

[00:01:09]These interventions have protected millions of Kenyans from even more severe economic hardship.

[00:01:21]I have further directed after consultations with the leaders present here from the transport sector and we had many hours of consultations with them yesterday.

[00:01:37]I have directed that in the pricing cycle, next pricing cycle, we are going to further reduce the price of diesel by a further 10 shillings for the June July cycle to help stabilize st pump prices and provide additional relief to consumers.
