Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has stated that the development of Turkana oil is crucial for reducing fuel prices in Kenya. During an interview with Meru FM on Wednesday, August 16, 2026, Nyoro suggested that the Turkana oil project, which could have aided Kenyans facing high fuel prices, had been taken away by certain politicians.
He emphasized that the only way to lower petrol and diesel prices is for Kenyans to fight for the Turkana oil, as it would eventually help stabilize fuel supplies. Nyoro attributed the challenges in the fuel sector not only to global factors but also to some top Kenyan politicians being involved in the fuel business. He believed that Kenyans could only advocate for the project by removing the present regime in the 2027 General Election.
Additionally, Nyoro accused President William Ruto of involvement in the petroleum business, calling it a kiosk. He also pointed out taxes as a significant issue, stating that Kenyans spend approximately 45% of fuel prices on taxes and suggesting that the fuel levy would remain in place for the next seven years, benefiting President Ruto's successor.
