In an announcement coming on Thursday September 23, 2021, the Energy Committee fined the CS a sum of Sh500,000.
The fine was imposed after the CS failed to honour summons to appear before the Senate Committee.
The Senate had recently issued a summons to both Keter and Petroleum CS John Munyes to explain the steep rise in fuel prices.
