 Kenya hikes fuel prices by 6% following lingering Middle East tensions Kenya raised the maximum retail prices of petrol and diesel on Wednesday, the energy regulator said, citing higher import costs linked to the conflict in the Middle East. The east African nation hiked petrol prices by 6% and diesel prices by 4.5% as it relies on the Middle East region for nearly all of its fuel supplies. A litre of diesel will cost 227.76 Kenyan shillings ($1.76) in the capital city of Nairobi, from 217.86 shillings, while kerosene will rise to 219.87 shillings from 191.38 shillings between October 15 and November 14, when new prices will be announced, TRT Afrika reported. The energy regulator said the government extended a reduction in value-added tax on fuel to 8% from 16% until January 14. Fuel prices affect multiple sectors including transport, agriculture and construction.

 Is the baby in the womb with us? - Rihanna responds to pregnancy rumors


Rihanna has addressed recent speculation suggesting she may be expecting another child, responding directly to an online video that sparked the conversation.


The discussion began under a clip posted by blogger @everybodyhatekrissy, which referenced old images and claims about a possible baby bump. Rihanna joined the comments herself and dismissed the suggestion in a playful tone, writing, “is the baby in the womb with us?”


Her response quickly spread across social media, effectively ending the speculation.


The conversation comes only months after Rihanna and partner A$AP Rocky welcomed their third child, a daughter named Rocki. The couple also share two sons, RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023.


Following Rocki’s arrival in September 2025, a source close to the family described Rihanna as especially joyful about expanding their household, noting that she had long hoped to experience raising a daughter.


“She’s over the moon,” the insider said, adding that the new addition brought a different energy into the family dynamic.


Those close to the couple also shared that they enjoy the closeness in age between their children, describing the home environment as lively and full of activity.


While Rihanna and Rocky often share glimpses of parenting, they tend to keep their relationship private. However, Rocky stirred conversation in late 2025 when he referred to himself as a “loving husband” in an interview with The Perfect Magazine, though the couple have not publicly confirmed a marriage.


For now, Rihanna continues to balance family life, business, and music, while occasionally stepping into online conversations in her trademark direct style.
