The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has said they will reduce import allocations for oil marketing companies (OMCs) found to have increased their exports to regional markets in the past four weeks, subjecting Kenyans to a shortage of the commodity.
The energy regulator said on Tuesday in a statement that their analysis of the daily petroleum loadings for the past four weeks shows that some oil marketers gave priority to export while the local market faced a shortage.
