Kenya is banking on the controversial government-to-government (G-to-G) oil deal it signed with Gulf oil firms to ensure an uninterrupted supply of petroleum products in the coming months, despite the crisis that has rocked the Middle East with no end in sight.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) said the three international oil companies with which Kenya signed a contract for the supply of fuel have assured the government that they will continue meeting their obligations.
