Kenyan Senators are pushing for the establishment of a national strategic oil reserve to cover at least six months of the country's fuel consumption.

• The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum has been given 12 months to develop a framework for this reserve.
• The framework will be developed in collaboration with the National Treasury and anchored on the National Oil Corporation of Kenya (NOCK).
• The recommendations stem from a committee report investigating irregularities in Kenya’s fuel supply chain, exacerbated by recent global energy supply disruptions.
