Kenya is experiencing an escalating fuel shortage with long queues forming at petrol stations across the country and some retailers warning of critically low stocks.

• Motorists in Nairobi and other towns like Nyamira, Kericho, Nakuru, Nyeri, Karatina, Murang’a, and Kirinyaga are struggling to find fuel, with some stations closed or offering only expensive high-octane options.
• The Motorist Association of Kenya (MAK) is accusing unnamed government officials and fuel sector players of orchestrating an "artificial crisis" and has threatened a nationwide strike.
• Public transport operators are also warning of a potential shutdown due to scarcity, leading to increased fares and disruptions to daily life.
