 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.

  Alleged Tupac Shakur Killer "Keefe D" Says He's "Not Nervous" About Possible Life Sentence


Alleged Tupac Shakur killer Duane “Keefe D” Davis is reportedly doing “pretty good” in jail as his murder trial begins in Las Vegas, and sources say he is not particularly nervous about potentially receiving a life sentence if convicted.


Davis’ trial began Monday, August 10, with jury selection after he pleaded not guilty to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. Prosecutors allege that Davis helped orchestrate the killing in Las Vegas and supplied the gun used in the shooting, although they say another person fired the fatal shot.


Davis was arrested in 2023 after years of publicly discussing his alleged involvement in Tupac’s killing, including during media interviews and police questioning in which he had immunity. He was subsequently transferred to the Clark County Detention Center, where he has remained while awaiting trial.


According to TMZ sources with direct knowledge, Davis is not afraid of prison because he has spent time behind bars over the years, although he does not want to spend the remainder of his life incarcerated.


The sources said Davis recognises that he is now 64 and may not be able to cope with prison in the same way he might have when he was younger. One source said, “Prison is a dangerous place and horrible things happen there, especially when you're older.”


The sources also said Davis could face additional risks because of his reputation inside prison as the alleged killer of Tupac. Davis’ family and other loved ones reportedly believe he brought the situation upon himself by repeatedly discussing the case. They have described him as an “exaggerator” and a “bullsh---er.”


If convicted, Davis reportedly believes he could still find a route to freedom because he thinks prosecutors’ case contains significant weaknesses. More than anything, however, sources say Davis believes prosecutors should drop the case and apologise to him.
