Govt to Surcharge Importers to Recover Ksh 3 Billion Lost in Fuel Scandal

The Kenyan government has initiated recovery proceedings against importers involved in a fuel importation scandal that resulted in a loss of over Ksh 3 billion. UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar stated that punitive sanctions amounting to five times the projected loss will be proposed. Recovered funds will be invested in Level Six hospitals, turning a potential economic setback into a long-term public health benefit.
