FUEL CRUNCH: Kenya Retailers Run Low as Middle East War Disrupts Supply

NAIROBI, March 24 — Kenya is facing a growing fuel supply strain, with hundreds of independent retailers reporting shortages linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict. According to industry officials, about 20% of fuel outlets have been affected as global oil prices surge amid the Iran war, while local pump prices remain frozen by the regulator. Retailers warn that the price cap is making it increasingly difficult to sustain supplies, raising fears of a wider nationwide shortage if the situation persists.
