Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum Opiyo Wandayi has reassured Kenyans that the country’s fuel supply remains stable, well-coordinated, and fully secure, dispelling any concerns about shortages.

Speaking to the media, the CS confirmed that the entire fuel value chain — from importation, storage, and distribution — is operating efficiently across the country. He emphasized that there are no disruptions currently being experienced, and Kenyans can continue accessing petroleum products without interruption for both domestic and commercial use.

He further noted that the Government has strengthened oversight and coordination mechanisms within the energy sector to ensure steady supply even amid global uncertainties affecting oil markets. According to the CS, Kenya’s strategic systems for fuel handling and distribution remain fully operational, with adequate stock levels maintained to meet national demand.

A key highlight of his briefing was the continued use of the Government-to-Government (G2G) framework, which he said has significantly improved the country’s energy security. The arrangement, he explained, has helped enhance predictability in fuel imports, reduced Kenya’s exposure to global price volatility, and provided a buffer against sudden fluctuations that often impact consumers.

The CS reiterated that the government remains firmly committed to safeguarding energy stability, ensuring affordability, and maintaining reliable access to fuel across all regions of the country. He added that these measures are part of broader national efforts to support economic stability, transportation efficiency, and overall development.

In conclusion, the government urged the public to remain calm and assured that continuous monitoring is being undertaken to guarantee uninterrupted fuel supply nationwide.
