Country has sufficient fuel stocks, Kenya Pipeline maintains

The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) has assured Kenyans that there are sufficient fuel stocks in all their depots across the country.

The company, in a statement, refuted allegations that Kenya is experiencing a shortage of petroleum products and instead noted that its current stock position in all KPC facilities as of Saturday noon indicates that there are over 69 million litres of super petrol, more than 94 million litres of diesel, more than 13 million litres of kerosene and over 23 million litres of jet fuel available.

“Kenya Pipeline Company would like to confirm that there are ample stocks of petroleum products in our system throughout the country to meet demand,” assured KPC Managing Director, Dr Macharia Irungu.

“Our global stock holding is adequate to serve the region, with more ships in Mombasa queued for discharge,” Dr Irungu added.

Amid a well-reported shortage of fuel in some parts of the country, the KPC boss says the company continues to do its part to fulfil its mandate of consistently delivering safe and quality petroleum products to customers in Kenya and the regional markets.
