Kenyan oil marketers shipped out 48.12 million litres of the condemned petrol to the Demoratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan, offering a trail on the movement of the controversial fuel that triggered the ouster of three top officials in the energy sector.

About 39 oil marketers, mainly independents, sold 28.45 million litres of the consignment in DRC and a further 19.67 million litres in South Sudan in June, according to documents tabled in the Senate--which investigated the controversial cargo.
