Crude oil deposits discovered in Kenya are insufficient to justify the construction of a refinery. Yaani hamna mafuta huko Ngamia 1. Na ile iko ni mzito san, too expensive to refine and sell while still competing with imports.

Cost of production per liter is way higher than the Ksh149 per liter you’re currently buying at with VAT and all expenses included). Goes without saying, Bayer, Cosmos, Glaxo Smith and all manufacturers will buy the cheaper oil byproduct imports, did you say plastics? Be a descent person and ignore that thought for now. Hatuezi chimba mafuta for asphalt only. There you have my hypothesis

Hii ni mwafrika anapigwa chenga.
even Nigeria does not have industrial refineries, its not economical
