See what happens when you have a monopoly? KPRL is allowed to refine (by law) 70% of Kenya's fuel imports. Since LPG is a by-product, Kenyans are forced to wait until crude oil is processed by KPRL.
So a slowdown or breakdown or incompetent management at KPRL means we all suffer.
Of course, imports have been affected by somali piracy as well since what could be 2 days from Mid-East to Mombasa is now 7 days.
Finally, add inadequate storage facilities due to poor GoK policies leads to low emergency reserves!
