ERB Chairman, Geoff Mwape announced this in a statement to ZNBC news in Lusaka on Tuesday.

He said during the last adjustment in January 2015, the ERB reduced pump prices for petrol by K2,29, K2.59 for diesel and K2.08 for kerosene.
Pastor Mwape explained that the periodic price adjustments are essential to ensure there is full cost recovery in the supply chain.
