Kenya's Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has cautioned that drastic reductions in fuel prices could lead to the collapse of oil marketing companies and disrupt the economy.

• The Cabinet Secretary stated that the underlying cost of diesel is around Ksh 259 per litre before government interventions like subsidies and tax adjustments.
• CS Wandayi warned that making it uneconomical for oil marketing companies to operate risks "disrupting the entire supply chain and causing serious havoc in the economy."
• He emphasized that fuel pricing is a scientific process managed by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to balance consumer relief and company sustainability.
