United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Hassan Omar has assured Kenyans that fuel prices will remain stable in the upcoming monthly review, dismissing fears of a spike following what he termed an “ill-conceived fuel importation misadventure.”
Speaking during a press conference in Nyali, Mombasa, Omar stated that the government is taking proactive measures to ensure consumers are not penalized at the pump. He emphasized that the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) will maintain the current Government-to-Government (G-to-G) pricing framework in its forthcoming review.
The Secretary General defended the G-to-G arrangement, arguing that it has been instrumental in safeguarding the country’s energy interests despite external market pressures.
“The government is assuring Kenyans that they will not be penalized at the pump. EPRA will maintain the government-to-government pricing framework, which has remained reasonable,” Omar told reporters.
He further noted that the framework continues to be a cornerstone of the country’s economic stability by ensuring “fuel quality, supply stability, and national energy security.”
The remarks come at a time of heightened public scrutiny over energy costs. By reaffirming the G-to-G deal, the ruling party’s spokesperson sought to project stability and protect consumers from global fuel price volatility.
The upcoming EPRA price announcement is expected to reflect these assurances, as the government moves to manage ongoing debates surrounding fuel procurement and pricing.
