OPTION 1. Via LHR (assuming you are stopping over in London):
The +++ for NBO-LHR are:
  • USD50 Kenya Passenger Airport Service Charge International (TU)
  • USD215 Carrier-imposed surcharge (YQ)
And for LHR-OSL are:
  • USD26.70 United Kingdom Passenger Service Charge Departures (UB)
  • USD34 United Kingdom Air Passenger Duty APD (GB)
TOTAL USD325.70
OPTION 2. Via DOH (assuming you would transit Doha):

the +++ for NBO-xDOH-OSL are:
  • USD50 Kenya Passenger Airport Service Charge International (TU)
  • USD222 Carrier-imposed surcharge (YQ)
  • USD8 Carrier-imposed surcharge (YR)
  • USD9.60 Qatar Passenger Facility Charge Pfc (G4)
  • USD0.50 Qatar Passenger Service Charge Arrivals (PZ)
TOTAL USD290.10
So, a small saving by routing via DOH, but you miss out on London

Notes:
  • All this information is gained by plugging your flights into The Matrix
  • You said that CX is ticketing this. CX might, or might not, collect the Carrier Imposed Surcharges for each and every carrier on the itinerary
