President William Ruto has vowed to dismantle suspected cartels within Kenya's energy sector following a burgeoning fuel importation scandal. The President stated on Sunday that his administration will act decisively against those involved in corruption and economic sabotage.

• The scandal involves allegations of falsifying domestic fuel stock levels, leading to an artificial supply crisis and the procurement of substandard emergency fuel at inflated prices.
• Key figures reportedly arrested include EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo, Kenya Pipeline Company Managing Director Joe Sang, and Petroleum PS Mohamed Liban.
• Ruto has previously pointed to dismantling cartels in the fertiliser, sugar, and coffee sectors, promising similar action in the oil industry.
