The State owes oil marketers Sh45.82 billion for the fuel stabilisation scheme that was scrapped last month amid mounting cash-flow woes for the dealers.

A communique from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that Vivo Energy Kenya, TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya and Rubis Energy Kenya— the top three oil majors— account for Sh25.67 billion or 56 percent of the unpaid money.
