• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I would like the Minister to clarify some issues concerning the oil industry. My concern regards some two oil companies that owe a lot of money to the Government through certain parastatals. Those two particular oil companies owe the Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited close to Kshs500,000,000 in processing fees. The same two companies owe Kenya Pipeline Company fees on storage and transportation amounting to almost Kshs1 billion. The same two companies owe Kenya Ports Authority shore-handling fees close to Kshs500,000,000. In total, they owe slightly over Kshs1.9 billion as at 31st December, 2008. view
