[File, Standard]Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has denied reports of a fuel shortage in Kenya. Addressing the press on Wednesday, March 25, Wandayi urged the public not to panic buy, saying the country has enough fuel stocks. A fortnight ago, Wandayi called for calm over fears the country might be hit by a fuel shortage after US and Israel carried out joint attacks on Iran. However, the Kenya Government has put in place proper strategies to ensure there is enough fuel in the country for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka declared a four-day workweek last week to ensure fuel reserves are not depleted.
