Favours those near the border and not seeing it as inconvenience.


It does not necessarily have to be at the border. Most, if not all of the fuel destined for Uganda passes through Kenya either by road from Mombasa or through the pipeline to Eldoret and then by road from there.

GOK will suddenly realize there is increased "demand" from Uganda and some Petrol station owners in Eldoret and Mombasa will become overnight millionaires. Information on where to find cheap fuel travels very fast. The petrol stations with it will not even have to be in Mombasa or Eldoret, they could be in remote areas like Kapenguria or Mutomo in Kitui and people will still find them and flock there.

True queues= Demand no

As long as Kenyans are obsessed with driving then that 16% will be soon forgotten.


Quietly pay the 16% to drive better roads. Hakuna cha bwerere. Free education, free health free roads, who's paying that bill?

But UK might bow to pressure sometimes the populist in him takes over

The 16% is already forgotten. The issue now is the fuel shortage not the cost. Someone out there knows Kenyans too well. Na ati mulikuwa munataka kuboycott ngata! Laughing out loudly

BBI will solve it :)
