By KENNEDY SENELWAMore by this AuthorThe Kenyan government loses Sh34bn million annually to unscrupulous business people, who sell petrol and diesel mixed with kerosene. Adulterated fuel results in vehicles producing heavy smoke before the engines knock. She said unsuspecting motorists who buy adulterated petrol and diesel incur high expenses repairing engine parts or purchase new engines because of damage caused by fuel not complying to product standards. Authorities in Tanzania and Uganda also face a local illicit trade of adulterated fuel in the market. “We are hopeful ongoing efforts by the Presidential Task Force on that Illicit Trade will hasten closure of facilities where dumping and adulteration takes place,” she added.
