Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi told reporters in Siaya on Friday that the country’s petroleum supply will stay uninterrupted despite ongoing instability in the Middle East.

He said the government is closely monitoring the situation in the region while maintaining measures to secure fuel deliveries.

Wandayi attributed the steady flow of fuel since the February US‑Iran conflict to Kenya’s government‑to‑government (G‑to‑G) fuel import arrangement, which allows suppliers to source from multiple refineries worldwide.

He acknowledged that longer‑distance sourcing can raise costs but emphasized that securing adequate supplies remains the priority.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) had earlier reported that Kenya holds more than 15 days of fuel stocks and that suppliers under the G‑to‑G framework have pledged continued deliveries.

EPRA also warned that global market conditions could push fuel prices higher in November and December.

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro echoed concerns about rising global oil prices, citing potential attacks on tankers and upcoming US mid‑term elections as factors that could drive prices up next week.

Recent reports indicated that two tankers bound for Kenya were struck by drones in the Strait of Hormuz, though the cargo remained intact despite engine damage.

The Kenya Ports Authority listed six tankers scheduled to arrive at Mombasa and Lamu between 19 and 31 October, carrying a mix of butane, V‑Power, base oil, gasoil and palm oil.
