    "content": "The Statement is in response to Questions raised by Hon. Aden Duale, Member of Parliament for Garissa Township Constituency, pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c). In particular, the Member requested for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding the fuel shortage crisis across the country as a result of the delayed subsidy payment to oil marketing companies. He raised the issues as follows: 1. The Chairperson to provide the total number of oil marketing companies (OMCs), petroleum dealers and small oil dealers, their network distribution across the country and percentage shares of the market in the country. Background (a) Kenya relies on refined petroleum products imported through two import terminals, that is, Kipevu Oil Terminal and Shimanzi Oil Terminal, to satisfy the demand for both local and transit markets. (b) Petroleum products imported in the country are procured through the Open Tender System (OTS) which allows for equitable sharing of the common user facilities amongst eligible oil marketing companies thereby enhancing competition in the importation process. (c) There are currently 106 licensed oil marketing companies who participate in the OTS process as either buyers or sellers. All the licensed OMCs are eligible to participate as sellers and supply petroleum products. 2. Market Share by OMCs. For those who have forgotten, OMCs are oil marketing"
