Kenyans face more pain at pump as crisis deepens

Diesel prices in Kenya could exceed the Sh300 per litre mark due to rising shipping costs and depletion of subsidies. The energy regulator raised retail fuel prices by up to 23.5%, bringing the price of diesel to Sh242.92 per litre. Inflation rose to 5.6% in April, marking the fastest increase in seven years, as the country grapples with an energy crisis exacerbated by the conflict in the Middle East.
