Fuel consumers stand to lose an estimated Sh1.7 billion after the government allowed one supplier to sell the product at prices that have been inflated by 17 percent, in a fresh scandal that has split players in the industry.

At the centre of the dispute is Oryx Energies Limited which was picked alongside Galana Oil Kenya by Saudi Aramco as the supplier of diesel to other oil marketing companies (OMCs) in the country for a period of 270 days or about nine months.
