Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has defended the government's handling of the recent fuel crisis in Kenya, stating that its resolution was achieved through a coordinated whole-of-government approach. He dismissed claims that he was absent or uninvolved in the process, asserting that he was at the center of the fix.
Speaking on May 22, 2026, Kindiki emphasized that the crisis was resolved through collaborative efforts involving multiple government agencies. He did not provide specific details on the measures taken but reiterated that the government acted swiftly to address the shortage.
The fuel crisis, which affected parts of the country in recent weeks, led to long queues at petrol stations and raised concerns about supply disruptions. Kindiki's remarks come amid ongoing political debates about the government's response to the situation.
