Despite the government announcing that fuel supply would return to normalcy after paying the oil marketers their dues, Kenyan motorists have continued to endure another week of major fuel shortages. There have been long queues of motorists and boda boda riders at several petrol stations including the Shell V-Power Petrol Station in Westlands, Nairobi, which can be easily mistaken for normal traffic congestion. In an interview with the Star on Tuesday mid-morning, Ken, a car owner, narrated how he waited for an hour at the petrol station, waiting to be served. "I'm supposed to be at work, but I'm forced to wait to be served, which is wrong," he said. "Our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is being affected as 90 per cent of people queuing here should be at work right now."
