ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi has demanded an explanation from the government over the fuel shortage witnessed in some parts of the country.
While campaigning in Kakamega County on Tuesday, Mudavadi demanded answers from President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“We want an explanation from the President as to what is happening with the current fuel crisis. The current fuel shortage in the country is one that should worry us all. Our neighbouring country of Uganda is having its fuel flow going well, forcing Kenyans to cross the border to get the fuel.
"This is despite the fact that Uganda's fuel passes through our border. The Government should explain to Kenyans why the shortage and why the hiked prices," the ANC leader stated.

The fuel shortage being experienced in the country was witnessed in parts of Western and North rift.
According to a statement by the Energy and Petroleum Regulation Authority (EPRA), the shortage was occasioned by what it termed as ‘unprecedented logistical constraints,’ which had caused independent dealers to run out of petroleum stocks.
“EPRA together with the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining, oil marketers and other sector stakeholders have resolved the issues affecting supply and are working towards restoration of normalcy across the Country,” the statement read in part.
