Opiyo Wandayi Assures Motorists of Uninterrupted Fuel Supply

Kenya’s Energy Cabinet Secretary, Opiyo Wandayi, assured the public that petroleum deliveries would continue uninterrupted despite instability in the Middle East. He credited the steady supply since the United States-Iran conflict began in February to the government-to-government import arrangement, which lets suppliers source products from multiple refineries. Wandayi acknowledged that longer shipping routes can raise costs, while the energy regulator said Kenya held more than 15 days of fuel stocks and warned prices could rise in November and December. MP Ndindi Nyoro also warned of possible further global price increases amid the Iran crisis and risks to oil tankers and energy infrastructure.
