The company said it had also won a tender for 40,000 tonnes of Jet-A1 jet fuel, due to be delivered in September.

"The three cargoes, totalling 200,000 MT, will contribute significantly in meeting both the country's and regional petroleum product requirements," KenolKobil said in a statement.

Kenya increased pump prices for petrol, diesel and kerosene for mid-August to mid-September citing a weaker local currency and slightly higher international fuel costs.
