🚨THE OIL SCANDAL: Senior Officials Resign! Gachagua Exposes “Trade War” Between Ruto & Staff! | Sikiliza TV Ep 28 🇰🇪
THE PETROLEUM SCANDAL EXPLODES: Accountability or a High-Stakes Power Play?
Tonight on Sikiliza TV, we dive deep into the massive oil scandal that has forced three of Kenya’s most senior petroleum officials to resign. PS Mohamed Liban, Joe Sang (KPC), and Daniel Kiptoo (EPRA) have stepped down following a government investigation into an alleged scheme to fabricate a national fuel shortage.
However, DCP Leader and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has offered a startling counter-narrative. He claims these arrests are not about ethics, but are the result of a "trade war" where officials allegedly shortchanged the President in the G-to-G (Government-to-Government) importation deal.
Inside this Episode:
👉 The Fabricated Shortage: How stock data was reportedly manipulated to justify emergency, high-priced procurement.
👉 Substandard Fuel: The mystery of the MV Paloma shipment—why was it overpriced and non-compliant with Kenyan standards?
👉 Gachagua’s Explosive Claim: Why he believes the officials were targeted for bypassing the President’s interests in the Ksh 1.3 Trillion G-to-G framework.
👉 The Coming Price Surge: Why fuel prices are expected to skyrocket by mid-April despite current "stability."
🔍 Possible Theories Behind the Crisis
The Geopolitical Pressure: With rising tensions between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, global oil shipments are being squeezed. Kenya may have been desperately looking for "cheap" alternatives to stay within budget, leading to these irregular and substandard imports.
The "Shortchange" Theory: As alleged by Rigathi Gachagua, the officials may have been punished for attempting to run a "side-hustle" within the G-to-G framework, effectively bypassing the primary beneficiaries of the deal.
The Artificial Scarcity Scheme: A classic cartel move—creating a fake crisis to bypass competitive bidding, allowing for emergency procurement at inflated rates to maximize private profit.
đź“Ś QUESTIONS FOR OUR VIEWERS:
Do you believe this is a genuine fight against corruption, or a falling out between business partners?
With Gachagua claiming the G-to-G deal has generated over Ksh 1.3 Trillion, who do you think is actually benefiting—the taxpayer or the elite?
Are you prepared for the surge in fuel prices and cost of living predicted for mid-April?
