The United Opposition has called for a special sitting of the National Assembly to address the controversial government-to-government (G-2-G) fuel deal, even as it levels fresh allegations against President William Ruto.
Speaking during a press briefing in Karen, Nairobi, on Wednesday, April 15, opposition leaders, in a statement read by Rigathi Gachagua, demand the outlawing of the G-2-G fuel arrangement and call for the resignation of Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi and Trade Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui.
The opposition claims it has received intelligence from Kenyans regarding the fuel importation deal, which it says emerged prominently during the Easter holiday period.
Gachagua alleges that President Ruto intervened in an earlier decision by former Kenya Pipeline Company Managing Director Joe Sang, alongside officials from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority and the Petroleum Ministry, regarding emergency fuel importation.
He further claims that although international firms are involved in the G-2-G arrangement, the real beneficiaries include top government officials and local entities.
“The three international companies in the G2G deal supply and distribute through six local oil marketing companies, but what was hidden from the public was the real culprits of this scandal,” Gachagua states.
In his remarks, the opposition leader also links the recent fuel price hike announced by EPRA—where petrol rose by KSh 28.69 and diesel by KSh 40.30 per litre—to alleged financial gains at the highest level of government.
“Following the April 14, 2026 price adjustment, Mr. William Ruto will earn a profit of KSh 5 per every litre consumed by the people of Kenya,” Gachagua claims, adding that this could translate to about KSh 2.5 billion based on projected fuel consumption.
He further alleges that since the inception of the G-2-G fuel agreement, the President has earned up to KSh 30 billion from petroleum supply in the region.
The opposition now wants Parliament to urgently address the matter, even as the claims are yet to receive an official response from the government.
