The Kenyan government has raided the pockets of fuel consumers once again after it tripled the tax payable to the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) for every litre of the commodity purchased.
The Ministry of Energy last week increased the Petroleum Regulatory Levy to Ksh0.75 per litre up from Ksh0.25.
