Petroleum PS: It is normal for us to delay oil marketers’ money

Petroleum and Mining PS Andrew Kamau [David Njaaga, Standard]

Petroleum and Mining PS Andrew Kamau now says it is normal for government to delay paying oil marketers for at least a month and that this should not trigger fuel shortage.    

Speaking Monday morning on Standard Group’s Spice FM morning show, the PS said the ministry usually requires time to verify the quantity of fuel brought in the country so as to avoid fictitious claims under the ongoing subsidy program.
