 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.

BEN AFFLECK’S EX-WIFE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS LOVE LIFE AND REPORTEDLY WANTS THE ACTOR TO TAKE A BREAK FROM DATING. (PHOTO).

Jennifer Garner is reportedly keeping a close eye on her ex-husband Ben Affleck as he adjusts to life after divorcing Jennifer Lopez. Sources claim Garner believes Affleck should take time for himself rather than rushing into another relationship, noting that he appears “happier” in his current single state. 


While she cares deeply about his wellbeing, insiders stress that Garner respects Affleck’s independence and trusts him to make his own choices when it comes to dating.


Affleck, meanwhile, has signaled he may be open to returning to the dating scene, though his busy schedule makes a serious commitment uncertain. Friends have even offered to set him up, but for now, his main focus remains on his family and professional projects. 


Garner and Affleck continue to maintain a strong co-parenting relationship, raising their three children Violet, Seraphina (Finn), and Sam together. Garner has acknowledged the challenges of parenting across two households but emphasized that both she and Affleck take on dual roles to support their kids.


Away from Garner, Affleck has made a decisive move to sever ties with Lopez by gifting her his share of their Beverly Hills mansion, the last property linking them after their divorce. 


The gesture surprised many and was seen as his way of moving forward. Interestingly, insiders suggest Lopez interpreted the act as proof of Affleck’s good character, sparking renewed hope about their relationship. 


Despite the split, their children remain close, with Affleck’s kids and Lopez’s twins reportedly making a pact to stay connected, showing maturity that has influenced how all three adults interact post-divorce.
