CS Opiyo Wandayi warns oil marketing companies hoarding fuel - March 2026

Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Gender and Affirmative Action, Opiyo Wandayi, has issued a stern warning to oil marketing companies accused of hoarding fuel, stating 'We are coming for you,' as the crisis worsens and impacts Kenyans. The government, through a directive from the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, had previously issued warnings to companies suspected of hoarding fuel for speculative profit amid concerns of artificial shortages and inflated prices. At the same time, Kenya and the United States have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding for nuclear cooperation, a significant step in strengthening bilateral ties. Siaya Governor James Orengo separately stated that Kenya must adopt nuclear power to achieve first-world status.
