Kenyans will no longer be treated to fuel stock outs following the completion of line five pipeline operated by the Kenya Pipeline Company. The project which cost the taxpayers a whopping 48 billion shillings will boost storage of petroleum products being imported into the country.

Speaking during an inspection tour of the line five facility at Kenya Pipeline headquarters in Nairobi, petroleum and mining cabinet secretary John Munyes hailed the project noting it would end capacity constraints that have bedeviled the company.

The new facility raises the storage capacity to 133 million litres is expected to ease the burden of petrol transporters in Mombasa as it will be able to evacuate more capacity a feat that will lower fuel costs by one shilling.
