WHY DCI ARRESTED RUTO’S TOP FUEL MEN AS THEY INTERFERED WITH SUPPLY, QUALITY Four officials arrested: Energy PS Mohammed Liban, EPRA DG Daniel Kiptoo, KPC MD Joe Sang, and Energy Chief Economist Joseph Wafula were picked up by DCI officers from their homes ⭕️ Charges: Suspected interference in the petroleum supply chain under the Economic Crimes Act — specifically failing to keep records, stocks and reserves of petroleum products ⭕️ The trigger: A fuel consignment under a Government-to-Government (G2G) arrangement was flagged for elevated sulphur levels non-compliant with Kenya’s standards — a @kenyapipeline quality assurance manager stopped its distribution and escalated the matter ⭕️ Market impact: Holding back the consignment disrupted fuel supplies and triggered an artificial shortage, wrongly blamed on the Iran crisis ⭕️ Hoarding: CS Wandayi had earlier ordered oil marketers to release hoarded fuel, warning that withholding stocks is illegal and a breach of licensing obligations ⭕️ Current stock levels: 16 days for petrol, 19 days for diesel, 49 days for jet fuel and kerosene ⭕️ Price cushion: Govt to deploy Sh17B from the petroleum stabilisation fund to moderate pump prices over the next three months ⭕️ Global pressure: Rising Middle East tensions flagged as a potential future risk to fuel prices, though current shipments remain insulated
