    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I wish to clarify that contrary to reports by a section of the media, there was no adulterated fuel received into the KPC systems from an importer and no adulterated fuel has found itself into the market. (b) Before any refined petroleum product is received into the KPC system, quality control checks are carried out and, therefore, the following checks were carried out on the consignment of 76,213,089 litres received by GAPCO. (1) The importer provided the port of loading certificate of quality complying with the Kenya Bureau Standards specifications. I would like to table a copy of a loading port certificate of quality indicating final boiling certificate at 204.5 degrees Celsius. That is Annex 1. (2) Intertek Testing Services, a surveyor/agent appointed by the importer carried out tests and issued a pre-discharge certificate of quality. I wish to table a copy of the pre- discharge certificate of quality. This is Annex 2. (3) The KPC also carried out control tests during the discharge of the fuel into their system which indicated that the super petrol in the receiving line and tanks had a boiling point 207 degrees Celsius which was slightly above the agreed industry boiling point of 205 degrees Celsius although within the limit of 210 degrees Celsius. (c) I wish to clarify that transportation of both super petrol and diesel is done in a single pipeline which hydraulically generates a small mixture of the two fuel grades commonly referred to as “slop”. This slop is monitored and received into separate and dedicated storage tanks in all KPC terminals including Nairobi. The slop is usually re- blended with products higher in boiling point."
