Fuel shortage triggers queues and fare hike fears

A severe fuel shortage is now being felt across the country, with long queues witnessed at the few stations still selling fuel, while others remain closed. In some areas, prices have already started rising, with public transport operators warning they will increase fares at any moment if the situation is not urgently addressed. In Nairobi, despite most fuel stations remaining open, owners say they are uncertain whether fuel will be available by the end of the week or whether prices will remain stable.
