The Inside Story Behind The Fuel Shortage in Kenya

Does anything really change in Kenya? Will anything change before we can remove all the entire political class from messing up with our lives and pretending to be concerned about our welfare?

A little research my this blogger has revealed that as widely believed by most Kenyans, the recent petrol shortage was man-made and created because some people were out to make a quick buck.

This saga is so amazing and stranger than fiction so much so that the first time I heard it I refused to believe it. And yet even as I cross-checked the info, things started happening to confirm some of the things that I had been told. Wow!!! What a crazy banana republic Kenya is!!!!

There is this oil company with very close ties to the highest authority in the land and some cash-hungry guys used the said firm to import fuel expecting to sell it at Kshs 90 per litre in the local market. Just a few weeks ago that sounded like a fair price because petrol was selling at Kshs 100 and climbing. And in the world market a barrel of oil was at close to $100 a barrel. Who would have guessed that in a few short weeks it would fall to $40 a barrel or thereabouts?

So these guys found themselves in a tricky position as their consignment entered the local market when prices were down to almost Kshs 70 per litre. My sources say that they approached major oil companies in the local market and tried to persuade them to raise prices for the Christmas rush to at least Kshs 90 per litre. However they received unexpected resistance from a major multinational company that controls most of the retail trade locally who stubbornly refused to raise their prices.

Next these politically-connected cowboys decided to use their “muscle” and interfered with the pumping of oil products through the Kenya Pipeline from Mombasa. Thye probably expected the said multi-national to bulk and agree to their terms. Other sources suggest that this was a deliberate move to create artificial shortages in the local Market and force the prices up. Interestingly this is exactly what has happened because I checked with my sources a few minutes before sitting down to write this post and the price of Petrol is steadily creeping towards Kshs 90 per litre (prices of 87/50cts have been spotted). A real tragedy when you consider that before Christmas a source spotted Petrol at 68/50cts in some filling stations.

Whatever the intention of these enemies of Kenya, one thing cannot be disputed. And that is the fact that they caused the fuel shortage deliberately and the current rapid rise in prices has resulted from their actions.

So I ask again. Is there a government in Kenya? And in the unlikely case that the answer to that question is yes, where is that government? Why has it stood and become a spectator as individuals have messed around with an entire vital industry that touches on the lives of each and every Kenyan? Is this what a hands-off approach to managing the country was meant to be all about?

Kumekucha shopping special: Samsung fridges and LCD TVs in Kenya.

P.S. Kenya Pipeline folks said that they are clean and have been pumping fuel according to the orders they receive. So we should ask the oil companies a simple question; why were their orders not forthcoming at a time when they know demand for fuel peaks in the country to very high volumes? Simple question and Kenyans want a simple answer.

  2. The only aspect of this ogre tale that I would vehemently disagree with is the manoveuer to create cartles. Every other allegation seems to me very much within the sphere of acceptable free market dealing.

    But I know it is tricky, this free enterprise phenomenon. When should the government really poke its nose in pricing and regulatory supply matters and when should it respect its committment to leave these matters to the first rule in the Demand/Supply handbook?

    What this dilemma we now confront teaches us is that socialism was not an entirely crazy idea. They are actively practising it right now in the US, the world's largest economy and supposedly the epitome of freedom. And on this note I should give credit to Raila Odinga's attempts to slowly return us to that ideology he so much cherishes. Some of it makes sense actually.

    once again the answer is yes-there is a government in kenya and i remind you one headed by no less than 3 PhDs bro- Dr.Kibaki,Dr.Raila and Dr. Musyoka; currently one half is in Nairobi the other in Mombasa(this is devolution of power at work already constitution reform nini?)

    make no mistakeut we are NOT like Somalia there is no power vacumm here or even a jockeying for control of the country's political reigns-our jail keepers know their role;... one is lethargic, another is the prefect(or supervisor if you insist) and another provides the echo; why then are you insisting on accusing the lethargic hands-off management of the country as being a symptom of a failed state? don't you know too many cooks spoil the broth?let there be order

    just because this administration has so far proven its not adept or able at handling its role as far as its responsibility of ensuring adequate supply of fuel was available in the run up up to and during the holiday season does not mean they are not concerned about our welfare or indeed unable to fulfill any government on earths' basic mandate of overseeing the smooth flow in provision of services delivery to its residents

    who knows it may turn out you and i actually contributed to this mess we're in by hoarding fuel more than necessary every time we drove our KVG volkswagen beetle up to the petrol station for filling-shame on us for creating artificial shortage in the supply of fuel and then turning round to accuse the government of playing witchdoctor

    either way, oil companies owe no one an answer they are a law unto themselves let us even be greatful they are not retailing at Ksh 200/ per litre in this our own 3rd world country

    Chris asked "do we really have a government in Kenya?" is a fact and not a dumb question to ask! because the government in place today was forced onto kenyans after Kibaki and his PNU cronies killed, raped, maimed and burnt innocent kenyan citizens to retain power by force.. the idea of a coalition government was enforced by the Americans(Bush) who congratulated Kibaki then stepped back and rescinded it "yes" Kenya is in major crises? Crisis,we al Kenyans know that 100% but how to remove or control this crises can only happen if an when the constitution is in place and the Kenyans people go back to the polls to elect a government of their choice just as they did by voting for ODM in December 2007!! what crisis? our messiah come in the form of ODM in December 2007 elections

    I wish KTN had the balls to report that segment of news in December 2007 or first week of January 2008 they could have stopped the slaughter of innocent kenyans by the PNU Kibaki regime... what a shame -most kenyans know Kibaki stole the elections and started the fist slaughter and burning of his own tribesmen in the Eldoret church to confuse his stealing elections and then he turned around with the Help of Martha Karua Machinery domo on BBC shouting and calling it ethnic cleansing!! yes Kibaki ethnic cleansing of your own tribesmen.. we hear you also killed kibaki senior(your own father) so what is A FEW kikuyu tribesmen burned in church so that you can use that to stay in power??

    Kibaki knows that the people he planned all this massacre's are talking.. ask Martha Karua she was involved in the planning and the implementation of the Plan with former president Arap Moi(sources now confirm)

    my question is then!! who is going to face Hague?? who are the tribunal going to prosecute?? many people even independent journalist have this information.. siku ya mwizi ni 40. Kibaki's and Martha Karua's chicken have come to roast..
    Karua thinks that she can get away with what she did?? Nope there is proof now and I wish her to hell with her Kibaki sugar daddy ..

    May they all burn in hell - this individuals must face prosecution - they committed crimes against the innocent citizens of Kenya- this people are murderous animals and they should be hanged like Saddam Hussein period!

    This is a guy who went to running Kibaki when he was the minister of foreign affairs- telling tales and spying on his own fellow Luo's.

    I wouldn't put that judas Tuju anywhere near statehouse. he is nickname amoung many members of paliament was " Kibaki's prostitute" if i recall clearly, and the only votes Tuju would get would be from Kibaki and his wife Rucy. there was even a rumor in statehouse corridors then that Tuju was having a side kick affair with madam Rucy to get more powerful:) and i now believe it was the truth and not a rumor.

    This is when i get embarrassed of being a kikuyu? if this is the way our tribesmen answer to facts about what happened on December 30th 2007 then we have big problems in kenya and Kikuyu's should never be in power by force.

    My children are embarrassed in school at a very young age knowing that kibaki stole the elections- I can never lie to my children just because kibaki is a kikuyu what he did was wrong and he should get out of statehouse. I hate to see my fellow tribesmen "IDP's suffering now because of what Kibaki did by rigging elections.

    we as kenyans lived together in all parts of kenya peacefully and the only quarrels we had were neighborly ones or once in a while political when the government forced people out of their land.

    being a kikuyu i will say this loudly to anyone in the office, on the streets anywhere that Kibaki rigged elections those are the facts.. he is a thug and this has got nothing to do with the rest of the kikuyu tribe i belong to.. he should be judged as an individual not by using the tribe card. And if he has to be taken to Hague so be it since i do not trust the systems that have been put in place to try all those involved in the crimes against humanity many innocent kenyans died and looking on now after 1 year it is all because of some politicians who refused to accept defeated and rigged elections to stay in power the blame lies squarely on kibaki

    again I'm embarrassed for some of our tribesmen on here who have no shame shouting abuses at Luo's or other tribes will not change the facts of what happened on December 30 2007 Kibaki stole elections and he should be prosecuted immediately!! what are kenyans waiting for.. we can all block him from doing business as usual!!

    take a leaf from the THAI PEOPLE OF THAILAND. they are determined and they are not using force but just using protests. kenyans should do the same! kibaki has no business ruling the country how does one let a thief be in control??

    Raila, Muthaura differ over ECK transition team

    Updated 52 min(s) ago
    December 31st Wednesday 2008
    By Maseme Machuka and David Ochami

    Prime Minister Raila Odinga and the Head of the Public Service have clashed over defunct Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK).

    The PM’s office is accusing Mr Francis Muthaura of unilaterally appointing a team of former ECK employees to manage the transition to the proposed Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC).

    The PM’s office said Muthaura’s action was illegal and wants it reversed.

    In a confidential memo from the Office of the President, 38 members of staff were redeployed to be "in the transitional team" awaiting the IIEC, which is yet to be constituted.

    In the letter written on Monday, December 29, senior ECK officials totalling 38 were allowed access to their Anniversary Towers offices in Nairobi to oversee the changeover.

    Of these, 31 are ECK employees who will band up with six officers from the Ministry of Finance and one from the Ministry of Justice.

    The 38 officers form a transition team to ensure smooth changeover from the ECK following its disbandment by Parliament.

    The memo asks the Administration Police officers at the offices to allow the listed staff, among them ECK Secretary Suleiman Chege and the Registrar of Political Parties Lucy Ndung’u, into the offices.

    Barred from office

    Former ECK employees were barred from accessing their offices after the Government sent them on compulsory leave.

    The decision by the Government to send the more than 500 ECK employees home was reached after President Kibaki assented to the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill last Wednesday. An interim electoral agency is to be put in place to carry on electoral reforms.

    Sources at the PM’s office said Raila was incensed at the new turn of events. A Press conference that he was to address was cancelled at the last minute as he flew to Mombasa with his family.

    The letter reads in part: "Following the disbandment of the ECK it is now necessary that appropriate transitional arrangements, pending the appointment if the IIEC, be put in place to oversee cross cutting issues relating to assets, liabilities, obligations and staff of the defunct ECK."

    It further advises Muthaura not to allow any of the 22 commissioners and members of staff of the defunct ECK into the premises: "All former commissioners and members of staff are barred, by operation of the law, from accessing the records, offices and the premises."

  40. Part of Kibaki's new years speech( and we all pray as kenyans who lost loved ones that KIBAKI faces HAGUE) in the new year - he must- and we must disburse the useless coalition that he is hiding behind( Kenyans want an interim government- now not a shenzi shiate coalition of fools.

    Justice for all(Kibaki's new years message)

    Let it be the year that will put to rest impunity and institute a society governed by equal application of laws and justice for all.

    We have already put in motion the establishment of a Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission that will deal with historic injustices, an Ethnic Relations Commission that will promote national cohesion, and a Special Tribunal to deal with post-election violence.

    We have also instituted measures to reform our electoral processes, and passed laws that will bring about the realisation of a new Constitution.

    In concluding, I would like to note that these measures and others that I have not mentioned today are aimed at defending and protecting the unity of Kenya, and the sanctity of one Kenyan identity that includes every single person living in our country.

    My wish for this year is for all of us to commit ourselves to the realisation of Kenya as a united nation, whose communities live and work together as one people, sharing a vision of a common destiny in building a prosperous, peaceful and equitable society.

    With these remarks, I once again wish all Kenyans a happy, blessed and prosperous New Year.

  42. If i recall correctly, NOCK (National Oil Corp of Kenya) was responsible for importation of Oil, and its distributed to the major oil companies by assigned quotas. To my knowledge none of the current major oil companies are closely linked to the govt (kenol is a public company in the process of absorbing Kobil). We know BP/Shell and Total etc.So for these companies to have colluded with NOCK and Kenya Pipeline, it sounds a bit far fetched.

    1. Kibaki shagging (sex) Martha karua from 2005 to 2007 through January 2008 after he was sworn in Mama Rucy said enough was enough and gave a warning to Martha Karua to keep of her thieving husband Kibaki.

    while Kibaki's Daughter Judy Kibaki was busy with the former finance minister Amos Kimunya shagging away rumor has it that Kimunya's wife was furious and hey is it true that Judy Kibaki's daughter is fathered by her own father Emilio Kibaki?? where there is smoke there is usually fire that follows.
    Now if you want us to post here facts and abuses about your kibaki game on!~!wewe kikuyu shenzi sana.

    you must be a young dude but let me explain it the best I can. Am a woman and i can tell you that size does not matter - whether one is the size of a dog or a donkey.

  47. Have you noticed how the panua mongrels have all of a sudden gone quiet? They are usually the loudest clowns on kumekucha - always trying to FRAUDULENTLY put some positive spin for their bosses Kibaki and Kalonzo. I see them right now... with their panua tails between their legs... WEZI nyinyi!

    One of them (Vikii - yule anayependa kulamba lamba matako za Kalonzo) sees this:

    and losses his "marbles." He and his ilk (the panua mongrels gang)have been farting shit here all of the year 2008 that Kibaki won fair and square - PUMBAFF!!

    Only a pumbavu liar can believe his/her own pumbavu lies. Even if you repeat a lie a thousand times it will never change to become the truth. A lie is always a lie - although among the panua mongrels crowd, being able to "pull off" FRAUD, DECEPTION and THEFT is considered being "smart"... BULLCRAP! These are the pumbavu values that have made Kenya a very disappointing underachiever despite having so much potential.

    He (Vikii - the Kalonzo ass licker) further goes on to say that he chooses to play in his own league. This must be the league of THIEVES, MAVI ya KUKU, UPUMBAVU, RATTLE SNAKES, FRAUD, DECEPTION and other pumbavu activities.

  48. Yes, a banana republic indeed notwithstanding Vikii's so called "acceptable free market dealings" which I would term as hoarding which I think is illegal. But as long as we are doing it to kenyans then it's all good. After all, we screw ourselves royally and we have developed a liking for it.

    What is unacceptable is that UG, Rwanda and TZ have to suffer too. gas prices have doubled in UG. In a few years, they are going to have oil and a refinary.

    What then will Kenyans do?

  49. Papa Plus, I would love to see this information you seem to have about the express illegality of hoarding.
    Is it immoral? I bet. But isn't capitalism itself an immoral concept?

  50. Hoarding under kenyan law is illegal. I will get you the appropriate text on it. Capitalism has its immoral aspects I agree. My point is that while it is ok for the countries to invade and subdue other nations for their own bbenefit; in kenya we do the opposite. We invade and subdue our own citizens for the benefit of a few. what is the sense in that? Why can't we invade Uganda and Sudan for their oil the same way Uganda and rwanda have invaded Congo for it's mineral rich katanga region? Why do we have to milk the already poor peasant populace to make a buck?

    Is that your capitalism Vikii?

  51. Vikii,
    Read up on the Laws of contract Act of kenya.

    If you have a contract you have to uphold that contract. These gas suppliers are under contract to supply gas. As of now they have not given a reason as to why there is a shortage which to me translate to breach of contract, which is illegal and suable under the law.
