The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has appointed Joseph Oketch as the Acting Director General following the arrest and resignation of Daniel Kiptoo. Kiptoo is linked to allegations of artificially creating a fuel shortage.

• The investigation centers on claims of manipulating national fuel stock data.
• Key individuals involved include former EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo, Petroleum Principal Secretary Mohamed Liban, and Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) MD Joe Sang.
• This manipulation allegedly led to irregular, overpriced, and substandard emergency fuel procurement outside the Government-to-Government (G2G) framework.
