An oil marketers lobby wants a firm that imported super petrol outside the Open Tender System (OTS) last month forced to foot demurrage costs incurred by other ships that were delayed following the disruptions.

The Oil Marketers Association of Kenya (OMAK) said the demurrage costs should not be passed on to taxpayers in the pricing schedule for the month to February 14 given that the ship came in as private cargo.
