James Opiyo Wandayi, who has been nominated for the post of Cabinet Secretary Energy and Petroleum, in March last year said in Parliament that the problem with Kenya's energy sector is that it is infested by cartels.

The Ugunja MP and National Assembly Minority leader went ahead to state that he had a dossier detailing how deeply entrenched the cartels are and that they have captured the electricity sector, making it difficult to bring down the cost of power.
