MP Alleges President Ruto Benefits from Petroleum Import Arrangement
What happened
Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro alleged on October 15, 2026, that President William Ruto is financially benefiting from a government-to-government petroleum import arrangement, which he described as a 'scam and a scandal'. This claim followed the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority announced new fuel prices, including increases for super petrol and diesel. Nyoro also claimed a potential KSh10 per litre subsidy reduction, though this was not established by evidence.

Why it matters
The allegation questions the integrity of the government's petroleum import system and the use of subsidies. The claims regarding a potential subsidy reduction relate directly to consumer costs following recent fuel price hikes.
Presidential spending is currently being scrutinized by the legislative body, following William Ruto's parliament rushing the budget through on May 30th.
