Several senior energy sector officials are facing potential criminal charges, including up to 10 years in jail, for alleged manipulation of petroleum stock data and irregular fuel procurement.

• Officials implicated include former Petroleum Principal Secretary Mohamed Liban, ex-Kenya Pipeline Company MD Joe Sang, and former EPRA DG Daniel Kiptoo Bargoria.
• Charges could include abuse of office, conspiracy to commit economic crime, and fraudulent acquisition of public property under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act.
• Investigators believe the officials falsified fuel stock data to justify procuring emergency fuel at inflated prices, potentially outside the standard Government-to-Government framework.
