KISUMU, Kenya Oct 19 – Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has assured Kenyans that the country has not experienced a fuel shortage despite disruptions and security threats facing petroleum shipments amid the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Wandayi said the government was relying on the government-to-government (G-to-G) fuel supply arrangement to maintain adequate stocks while exploring interventions to shield consumers from rising international oil prices.
He said the government was monitoring developments in the global oil market, particularly threats to vessels transporting petroleum products through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for international energy supplies.
