The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has taken aim at the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), accusing it of frustrating Kenyans with “cosmetic” fuel price cuts that do not reflect global market trends.
In a strongly worded statement following EPRA’s latest review, MAK said the minimal adjustments were “an affront to motorists and the Kenyan public at large.” On Sunday, EPRA announced a drop of Ksh0.79 for petrol, Ksh0.11 for diesel and Ksh0.80 for kerosene, effective September 15.
The association insists the system is flawed and opaque, warning that monthly reviews have created uncertainty and unnecessary anxiety among motorists. It argues that the more transparent formula under the defunct Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) was fairer and predictable.
MAK further criticized the government-to-government (G-to-G) oil import deal, terming it secretive compared to the open tender system. It now wants EPRA disbanded and a return to ERC’s formula or, alternatively, the adoption of a fully free-market system where global forces dictate pump prices.
“The government has no business setting fuel prices. Let market forces work,” the association said.
