Lets get rational what is this argument about! Competing on phonetics makes no sense and does not give you any shares on wazua ltd. We need to see prices of fuel come down. Fuel is one of the biggest drivers of inflation besides Its irrational to pay 99bob for 1 liter of premium.

Then do not pay 99/-, go to stations that charge less (beware of fuel adulteration)...

Unless MoE, GoK, KRA, KPC, KPRL, KOSF change the current 'midset' of 'We are the government therefore we know what is good for you'... little will change!

KK took a courageous stand. Told KPRL that they are INEFFICIENT (& useless)...
Told MoE that the OTS is being compromised...
Told KPC to stop playing games with ullage...

Kenya loses 5-10/- per litre of White Oils from 1960s style of Crude Oil processing! Why isn't KPRL/Essar/GoK focused on upgrading to an EFFICIENT refinery that can compete with the Indian & Middle Eastern refineries?

2. Ermm...people u do understand that They actually lost this?!??! coz they paid off KPRL( as some people here refer to these guys as the "evil ones") and they have to drop all law suits pertaining to KPRL.


@Horton, you mean KK has dropped all matters against KPRL including the dispute they forwarded for resolution to the English High Court in London?




@2012.
Yep thats what it says on Reuters. Segman claims the agreement was reached "for the good of the oil industry". Hogwash

Withdrawing cases shouldn't affect the ksh 4B matter as it has already been decided so is not a case anymore. So the only case I know is the KPRL matter at arbitration.

Gordon do you know of the appeal against the 4b?

@mlennyma, as far as I'm aware, the appeal wasn't against the award but the SIZE of the award.

KK's latest Press Release specifically mentions that the lawsuits against KPC has not been withdrawn...

Stakeholder Information Sharing


The company takes exception to sensitise that as would be expected when corporate organizations like KenolKobil are faced with issues of great public interest, there is likely to be a lot of conflicting information published or broadcast across media, thus creating confusion as to the true position in such matters.

The KenolKobil Group and Local Management Teams, in close liaison with the company’s corporate affairs office, from time to time releases timely information with regard to such matters, and besides circulating it to the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the Capital Markets Authority as well as to the media, immediately publishes such information on the company’s website.

In addition, the Corporate Affairs office is in the process of collating shareholder information, specifically shareholder email addresses, so that all shareholders can be included in such communication. We request those who have not yet submitted their email addresses to submit the same to: shareholder@kenkob.co.ke

@GG

KPRL cannot afford to pay the 4.6 billion awarded to KK unless the whole installation is sold to the highest bidder. It's a catch 22 for KPRL and the government. The way out would be to allow KK to be using their services without paying the commission till the award is cleared.

I still don't understand why crude oil has to be refined at KPRL when it is cheaper to import refined oil. I thought market forces are supposed to work in favour of the consumer.

Why does the government insist on oil marketers using the inefficient, corruption marinated KPRL ?
