As winter sets in, gov’t urged to reduce prices of kerosene

 

AMMAN — Experts are calling on the government to reduce prices of kerosene during the months of December and January to secure heating options for low-and middle-income households. 

Low-income families rely “heavily” on kerosene heaters to heat their households during winter. However, in light of the recent price increase of fuel derivatives, especially kerosene and diesel, Jordanians are left with no options to heat their houses other than firewood.
