The announcement follows hours after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) increased petrol prices by Ksh16.65 per litre and diesel prices by Ksh46.29 per litre, while kerosene prices remained unchanged.

While addressing the press on Friday, May 15, representatives from the transport sector stated that the rising cost of fuel has significantly affected their daily earnings and operational expenses, forcing them to hike fare prices.

According to the operators, all matatus across various routes in Nairobi and other parts of the country are expected to implement the new charges immediately.
