[PCS]President William Ruto has announced a crackdown on cartels in the oil sector, declaring that his administration will move decisively to dismantle networks accused of manipulating the country’s fuel supply system for personal gain. “Cartels in the oil industry will face the music. They will not get away with it because it cannot happen in our country,” Ruto said. President Ruto linked the alleged scheme to attempts by cartels to exploit global uncertainties, including tensions in the Middle East, to create artificial crises in the domestic fuel market. “We must have accountability in Kenya,” Ruto said.
