Parliament has directed the Auditor General to audit operations of the National Oil Corporation, which they described as “technically insolvent”.

MPs also questioned the legality of NOCK's Sh3 billion partnership with Rubis Energy Kenya. The National Assembly Public Investments Committee on Commercial Affairs and Energy chairperson David Pkosing decried financial mismanagement, rising debt and opaqueness in operations at the agency, observing that the audit would help save the state-run entity from collapse.
