Motorists Association demands independent audit of EPRA fuel prices, G-to-G oil deal
MAK warned the prices would worsen the cost of living and pile pressure on motorists, transport operators and households.
The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has called for an independent audit of the recent fuel price review and the government-to-government (G-to-G) petroleum import arrangement, questioning the sharp increase in prices. The association argues that the latest price adjustments will worsen the cost of living and pressure motorists, transport operators, and households.
MAK also questions the steepest percentage increase in kerosene prices at the pump, given its lowest reported percentage increase in landed cost. The association demands a full breakdown of the calculations behind the new prices and urges the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to publish this information. Additionally, MAK calls for a comprehensive independent audit of the G-to-G petroleum import arrangement, requesting disclosure of its costs and measurable benefits compared with competitive procurement.
