Most motorist were also turned away from getting fuel in some petrol stations.
Nonetheless, the fuel scarcity all over Kenya may have been accelerated by curtailed imports by big oil marketing firms.

Consequently, the government reimburses oil traders so they can deliver fuel at a lower price. However, the dealers say they have not been paid yet.

On the other hand, Kenya consumes 380 million litres of petrol and diesel every single month, according to data from the regulator.
