The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum has assured Kenyans that the country has sufficient petroleum stocks despite escalating tensions in the Middle East, where much of Kenya’s fuel supply is sourced.

In a press statement issued on March 3, 2026, Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi said the ministry has reviewed the current supply and stock situation and confirmed that the country is adequately covered.

“As at today, the country has sufficient stocks to cover both the country and the region. We have scheduled imports for delivery up to the end of April 2026 and, therefore, as it stands, we are assured of security of supply,” the statement read.

The ministry noted that it is closely monitoring developments in the Middle East and is engaging government-to-government (G-G) suppliers as part of contingency planning efforts.

Officials further reassured the public and stakeholders that the government remains alert and will continue taking necessary measures to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply across the country.

The ministry pledged to keep the public informed as the situation evolves.
