suggesting that powerful players from both sides of the handshake have stakes in the lucrative arrangements.<\/a><\/p>\nNyoro painted a picture of an insulated political class that retreated into boardrooms to cut deals while ordinary Kenyans took to the streets over soaring living costs. \u201cThe political elite went into boardrooms, cut deals, and that was it,\u201d he said, describing the approach as deeply insensitive to the struggles of citizens.<\/p>\n
The revelations come amid mounting public frustration over fuel prices, which continue to burden households and businesses despite promises of relief through G2G imports. Public service vehicle operators have recently hiked fares by up to 50 percent in some areas, adding to the economic strain.<\/p>\n
Nyoro, a vocal defender of certain government proposals on fuel pricing, argued that Parliament must redeem itself by pushing for greater transparency and opening up the sector to genuine market competition. He described the current setup as lacking competition, ultimately leaving Kenyan consumers at a disadvantage.\u201cMarkets exist to give the consumer the best deal,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you close the market to the dealer, it means the end user will always be taken advantage of.\u201dThe MP called on fellow parliamentarians to rise above partisan loyalties and propose solutions that genuinely alleviate the pain at the pump, rather than rubber-stamping existing arrangements.<\/p>\n
Nyoro\u2019s explosive comments have already sparked intense reactions online, with many Kenyans demanding a full audit of G2G contracts and the beneficial owners behind the companies involved. As fuel prices and the cost of living remain hot-button issues ahead of future political battles, his remarks are likely to fuel further scrutiny of how Kenya procures its petroleum products.<\/p>\n
The government has previously defended G2G deals as strategic moves to stabilize fuel supply and pricing, but growing skepticism from both the public and some lawmakers suggests the conversation is far from over.<\/p>\n
