Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has sharply criticised Attorney General Dorcas Agik Oduor, urging her office to immediately initiate civil proceedings to recover public money paid for substandard and overpriced fuel imports at the centre of Kenya’s unfolding petroleum supply chain scandal.
In a strongly worded statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) this afternoon, Ahmednasir demanded that the AG act alongside ongoing criminal prosecutions:
“Concurrently with the criminal prosecution of the culprits involved in the fuel scam, Attorney General Hon. Dorcas Agik Odour SC must commence immediately civil recovery for the money fraudulently paid to the companies who imported the substandard oil into the country.”
The call comes just days after President William Ruto publicly vowed tough consequences for those implicated in the scandal and accepted the resignations of several top energy sector officials.
The controversy erupted in early April 2026 when investigations revealed that senior government officials allegedly manipulated national fuel stock data to create an artificial shortage.
This was used to justify an emergency importation of petroleum products outside established Government-to-Government (G2G) contracts with major suppliers such as Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, and ENOC.
