UDA Proposes Sh15bn Penalty Over Substandard Fuel Imports - April 2026

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is proposing a hefty Sh15 billion penalty for the importation of substandard fuel cargo into Kenya. A fuel saga has sparked significant political controversy in Kenya, with the UDA party alleging that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is linked to an undisclosed shadowy financier. Additionally, suspects involved in an irregular fuel shipment have been granted police bond following a controversy surrounding the import deal, which was reportedly conducted outside the established Government-to-government agreement.
