[File, Standard]The government has assured Kenyans that it has enough petroleum products to shield the country from supply shocks amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. In a statement issued on Tuesday, March 3, Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi said that there is sufficient stock to cover domestic demand and regional obligations. According to him, imports were scheduled for delivery up to the end of April 2026, adding that for now, supply remains secure. Kenya, like many other nations, relies on imported refined petroleum products and remains exposed to global shocks. However, Wandayi says forward contracting and planning have strengthened the country’s position, and there is no need for alarm.
