The PS mentioned that the fuel shortage was caused by the delay in the subsidy payout which led to oil marketers running out of cash flow.

"This is a classic run, I mean, it is the same if you go to the bank if we all go to the bank to get our money out, they do not have money just sitting there, it is the same with petrol stations, they need to get it from the tank to the petrol stations. 

"I saw a photo of people in the paper today with jerrycans, I mean when is the last time you saw people buying fuel in jerrycans?" I mean it is unusual," PS Kamau stated.
