As the festive season gets underway in Kenya, the country's fuel supply situation has sparked relief among residents and travelers.
With many Kenyans set to embark on holiday trips, a fuel shortage would have been disastrous, throwing travel plans into disarray and crippling the economy.
However, the Kenya Pipeline Company has come to the rescue, assuring the public that there is enough fuel in the country to meet both domestic and regional demand.
According to the KPC, there are nearly 20 days' worth of petrol, diesel, and jet fuel in the depots, providing a much-needed buffer against any potential shortages.
This timely pledge has eased concerns among motorists and travelers, who can now breathe a sigh of relief as they make their holiday plans.
As the country gears up for the festive season, the onus is now on the police and public transport regulator to enforce traffic rules and enhance road safety, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey for all.
