Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina has raised suspicions over fuel pricing practices following the latest review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority.
In EPRA’S latest review, petrol prices reduced by KSh 9.87 per litre, after the intervention of President William Ruto.
In a statement on Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Narok Senator alleged that EPRA, in collaboration with a section of players within the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), could be manipulating pump prices even when, the country has reportedly more than adequate fuel supply under the government-to-government (G2G) arrangement.
“Mr. President it is alarming that EPRA appears to be playing games in cohort with a cabal inside the OMC, even as we have more than enough fuel coming into the country,” the statement from Ledama read.
According to Ledama, Kenya’s monthly requirement for petrol (Premium Motor Spirit) stands at about 180,000 metric tonnes, and recent deliveries exceed this demand by far.
“As a member of the Energy Committee, I can authoritatively state that Kenya’s monthly requirement for PMS is only about 180,000 metric tonnes. Yet the Government‑to‑Government (G2G) arrangement is today offloading 36 MT, with an additional 180 MT expected within the next two weeks,” he added.
The Narok Senator further argued that the cargoes were sourced from Europe and the US at an estimated landing cost of about Ksh 48,000 (around USD 84) per metric tonne.
