Long lines are forming as Kenya's fuel crisis continues.

In Kenya, a nationwide fuel scarcity continues to wreak havoc, with huge lines forming at the few filling stations that carry the commodity.

There are several theories as to why the shortage is occurring.

The reason, according to President Uhuru Kenyatta, is the global crisis triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Kenya Pipeline, the national oil storage firm, claims there is ample stock, and the regulator EPRA has threatened any company holding oil with deregulation.

According to analysts, the shortages are due to the government's failure to deliver on promised subsidies to oil marketers to protect consumers from the impacts of the global crisis.
