 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.

The suspect allegedly slit her neck and stabbed her on the chest and various parts of her body, accusing her of being a witch and alleging that she caused the illness of one Maryam Amadu 'F' of Kuka Buni Village, who is seriously sick. As a result, the victim became unconscious while the suspect fled to an unknown destination.


On receipt of the report, a team of detectives attached to Gadau Division raced to the scene and evacuated the victim to General Hospital Azare for immediate medical attention. She was later confirmed dead by a medical doctor. The corpse was released to her relatives for burial. The suspect has been arrested.
