The endless tussles in the oil industry just took another twist.

BD has slammed KK in a hard hitting editorial referring to Monday's KK's press release on the impending price rise. Without refuting any of KK's assertions in the said press release, BD implies that KK was just out to profiteer.

You can now see why I did not include KK on my X-Factor list. Although I am a big admirer of KK, the oil industry is rather murky and little understood by outsiders who will only be too quick to cast aspersions on any profits made by oil marketers.

Rather interestingly, BD does not identify the rogue marketer by name even though it should be clear to all that they are referring to KK. Would it be because they are afraid of a libel/defamation suit? After all, KK has shown itself to be quite ready to take on all comers in the corridors of justice very robustly.

Meanwhile the focus shifts back to the Ksh... This time I expect Ksh 90 to be tested. The last time I stated this, I was told it was blasphemy, but I somehow escaped the stone-throwing

I suspect what KK did was stop the faceless players from raising the prices come 14th. These hoarders are now sitting on petrol they will not be able to sell at their preferred price, and as long as it sits the finance costs wipes out their margins.
