Fuel pump prices in the country may drop in the next Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority review.

This is after two ships carrying fuel oil docked at the New Kipevu Oil Terminal.

The two tanker vessels, Nan Lin Wan and Proteus Jessica, carrying 100,000 metric tons of diesel and 85,979 metric tons of petrol respectively, were received by Energy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir and his Finance counterpart Njuguna Ndung’u.

Speaking at the new terminal, Energy CS Davis Chirchir said the consignment arrived under the Government to Government (G-G) arrangement.

“This is the fifth ship which is offloading diesel, behind us we have PMS under the G-G offloading Super Petrol. The G-G is working, we are progressively seeing the Kenyan shilling gaining strength which was the objective,” said CS Chirchir.
