And people castigated KK.I hope the morons at ERC now see that this protected money sucker is no good for this economy.Let the marketers import their own products from the most efficient/cheapest source! or better burn the damn refinery.
I have come across too many idiots who supported the ERC/KPRL position... I have given up trying to convince them!!!

Let the actions speak... & they have!

Hah... KPRL tells Kenyans to bend over

See why I support KK???



KPRL just like KK is not a NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. There is nothing wrong with such a decision, businesses have to make a profit to survive.

See what! A barrel of oil is 158.984 litres.... do the maths. But, in Kenya greed is the name of the game. Even before jan 2011 you will how they do their adjustments.

@BGL is blind... Let us try to explain...

1) KK competes against other firms (Shell, NOCK, Total, etc)
2) Consumers have a choice of NOT buying from KK. You can buy from others.
3) KPRL has no competition in Kenya coz it is has a MONOPOLY in Kenya
4) The Govt forces OMCs to use inefficient KPRL. The lower of 1.6mn MT/year OR 70% of Kenya's crude imports must be processed thru KPRL.

So using (4) as a hammer, KPRL then uses its position as (3) to screw us over...

If you do not get this simplified version... I don't know what to do...

Forget KK this is going to hurt the entire nation. Just after recording impressive GDP growth in 2010, we'll start 2011 on a negative.
And what regulations are these that Kenya has put on importing Oil that are messing Uganda?

BBI will solve it :)

I like simplicity because free info should not be complex. Just calculate for me the expected increment PER LITER factoring in the proposed adjustment. For your info a barrel of oil is approximately 158.984 liters. Avoid rhetorical questions and just answer the question.

I was told that they normally raise the pump price before because they are expected to pay on purchase and need to have the money before hand unlike before when they could take on credit. They factor in (through estimate) the new price, tax and profit.
If you ask me, I think it's bull crap but since there exists that window, they exploit it to the maximum.

These increments by KPRL are way above the inflation adjusted rate which amounts to fleecing for a company dealing with essential products...

They are probably jealous of KPLC Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly
But on a serious not KPRL should try and improve its efficiency instead of raising prices....
