State illegally diverts fuel subsidy cash to Rerec — again
Energy and Petroleum CS Opiyo Wandayi (second left), and other officials, including Rerec CEO Rose Mkalama (right), switch on the lights during the commissioning of an electrification project in Kuresoi South, Nakuru County on November 8, 2024.
The Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (Rerec) illegally tapped Sh110 million from the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) in the year to June 2024, marking the latest breach in the use of the charge.
A report by the Auditor-General revealed that Rerec received the money to partly fund the connection of customers to the national grid in rural Kenya, being the second time that the State agency has illegally benefited from the PDL fund.
