Kenya’s National Assembly Committee on Energy is set to carry out high level fact finding visits to key institutions at the centre of the country’s ongoing fuel concerns.
The parliamentary team is expected to visit the Kenya Pipeline Company and the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority in Nairobi as part of efforts to investigate reported fuel shortages and allegations of substandard petroleum imports.
The inquiry will focus on claims that some fuel shipments entered the country outside the government to government G to G importation framework.
Lawmakers are expected to examine the origin and quality of the imported fuel, adherence to procurement procedures, regulatory oversight mechanisms, and potential gaps in enforcement across the supply chain.
The probe follows growing public concern over fuel availability and quality, which has already led to the arrest and resignation of several senior officials within the energy sector.
The situation has also intensified scrutiny around transparency, accountability, and compliance within the petroleum importation process.
Particular attention is being placed on the G to G importation model, which had recently been credited with stabilizing fuel supply but is now under question amid allegations that certain consignments may have bypassed the established system.
Members of the committee are expected to determine whether any breaches occurred and propose measures to address identified lapses and strengthen the integrity of the supply chain.
