Petroleum CS John Munyes snubbed the Senate Committee on Energy before which he was expected to appear and explain the increase of fuel price in the last few months. The CS was to appear before the committee chaired by Senator Ephraim Maina on Wednesday. Following the move, the committee has asked the CS to appear before it on June 14 or risk being arrested. Munyes was to explain why the pump price was hiked by Sh3.56 in the latest fuel price review. This, despite the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority citing a 0.6 per cent decrease in the average landing cost.
