Oil marketing companies in Kenya will be paid subsidy arrears amounting to Ksh13 billion (about $113 million) by Tuesday to end the ongoing fuel shortage crisis, Petroleum Principal Secretary Andrew Kamau has said.
PS Kamau, in an interview with NTV on Sunday, said the oil firms would be paid this week even as he strongly defended the sustainability of the fuel subsidy scheme that has been blamed for the current crisis.
