State moves to avert another fuel crisis, orders firms to cut exports

In an effort to avert another fuel crisis, the government yesterday forced 60 oil marketing companies to make the commodity available locally.

This is after it emerged that the oil marketers had been diverting petroleum products meant for the local market to neighbouring countries where their profit margins are higher in the wake of the fuel subsidy programme meant to cushion Kenyans from skyrocketing fuel pump prices.
