You are wrong on this. The oil industry is controlled by both political divides. This could be a very good opportunity for CORD to expose the goverment but they can't since their leadership is also involved in supplying of fuel. Now it's convinietly CORD,S job to yell about the fuel prices...thought the President ni mtu wa watu and cares about the ordinary mwananchi... possunt quia posse videntur

What everyone is saying is that the government and the opposition are in bed together regarding fuel prices. The government is shafting us through it's various agencies and the opposition is standing by because they are among the beneficiaries because the opposition leaders are in oil. Kenyan citizen we are on our own!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Oh, how we (Kenyans) love to allocate responsibility very democratically in case it weighs too much on our tribesmen. It is much like the man of the house cheating with the housegirl and the wife allotting equal blame to both. Who carries carries [99%] responsibility to the spouse?

Crude at $47pb. At this rate I will buy myself some barrels and refine for my own consumption. Life is short. Live passionately.

In US, a gallon is currently retailing at US$ 2.81 which translates to an average of Kshs.54 per litre! Petrol in Congo is cheaper than in Kenya yet they import through Kenya!!!!!If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

I saw it in Kenya people trust the big companies kina Shell ,Total whose prices are high and ignore the small unknown companies whose prices are low.You find a 4 or 5 sh difference in price per litre ,an empty cheap petrol station and a full expensive station. Isnt there anyone who can petition the ERC ? alienda wapi Omtata ama Boniface Mwangi ama their protests are only political !

One reason we do that is because we don't know who to trust: many small companies (and a some "known" names) contaminate petrol and diesel with kerosene. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Special-kits-to-help-motorists-check-for-fuel-contamination/-/539546/2335250/-/16kjhiz/-/index.htmlTuna Shida..

If crude drops by 50%, the shilling depreciates 20% (90/75 KES in USD) and a further change and a further 20% for other cost increases I may not have accounted for. The cost of crude in the KES 100 litre should now be KES 43 and the fuel with taxt should cost me KES 83.
40 * 50% * 120% * 120% = 43.2
43.2 + 40 = 83.2 when the crude price goes up. pump prices will go up next day. This is the work of proper opposition to question the government otherwise someone somewhere is makinng a kill I had no idea. So do they change pump prices daily in Kenya?

The USA is cheaper than many, many countries thanks to their efficiencies e.g. better roads, USA based refineries, pipelines, competition and most of all low(er) taxes. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Taxes. I don't think there are taxes on fuel in Congo. No-one to collect them! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
