Kenya on Wednesday moved to calm public concerns over potential fuel disruptions, assuring that the country holds sufficient petroleum stocks despite the ongoing Middle East crisis.
Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum, Opiyo Wandayi, stated that national energy security remains stable, with supply chains functioning effectively and Government oversight firmly in place.
According to the update, the Kenya Pipeline Company currently holds 102 million litres of petrol, 146 million litres of diesel, and 167 million litres of dual-purpose kerosene—levels that meet the country’s statutory reserve requirements. Wandayi further indicated that supply replenishment for the April fuel cycle is progressing as planned, with incoming shipments expected to deliver a combined 330 million litres of petrol, reinforcing Kenya’s fuel security outlook.
