The CS reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to transparency and accountability, warning that those behind the scheme will face the full force of the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The unfolding saga raises serious questions about oversight within the energy sector and signals a renewed crackdown on cartels accused of manipulating fuel supply chains for profit at the expense of ordinary Kenyans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fuel Mafia Exposed?
