    The Big Story

    The BIG Story

    Four powerful figures at the center of East Africa’s energy sector upheaval; Mohamed Liban, Kenya’s Principal Secretary for Petroleum; Joe Sang, former Managing Director of the Kenya Pipeline Company; and Daniel Kiptoo Bargoria, former EPRA Director General, have all exited office amid a deepening fuel supply scandal under investigation. Across the border, James Mwainyekule, Tanzania’s EWURA Director General, has been dismissed following a sharp surge in fuel prices. Together, their downfalls signal a broader regional reckoning, as governments confront mounting pressure over fuel governance, regulatory accountability, and the growing economic toll of instability in critical energy systems.
