Martin Chomba – Mtaalamu, Sekta ya Mafuta: Rais Ruto ni mzuri sana katika mipango lakini kuzitekeleza kuna hitaji Wakenya wote waje pamoja#SemaNaCitizen

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

Martin Chomba: Hatuwezi kufikia malengo ya 2030 au hata ya baadaye kama 2060 kwa kutegemea serikali pekee. Ni lazima tushirikiane na wananchi ili kwa pamoja, serikali na mwananchi, tuweze kufanikisha malengo ya maendeleo ya baada ya 2060 #SemaNaCitizen

[SpiceFM @SpiceFMKE]

If you’ve looked at your token receipt or the price at the pump lately and wondered where all your money is actually going, you are not alone.
In this hour of The Situation Room, Eng. Isaac Ndereva (Electricity Consumers Society) and Martin Chomba (POAK) blew the whistle on what is really driving these soaring costs. They didn't just talk about inflation; they broke down the hidden charges, the policy loopholes and the hard truth about whether we will ever see relief.

Martin Chomba: We need a government bureaucracy in this country that is competent enough and not controlled by political patronage. As long as that does not happen and the issues that have been discussed are not taken seriously, our future remains uncertain. Our future is in the hands of those who can ask the right questions and seek solutions, not those who simply make noise.

Martin Chomba: The world needs to find a way to move past the Strait of Hormuz issue. We are getting to a point where there will be predictability and oil will not be allowed to become such a major disruptor of the global economy.

Martin Chomba: EPRA is a regulator for everyone but the prices they regulate for us are mainly for the pump price and they do not involve the individual contracts of the suppliers.

Martin Chomba: Kiongozi unayechagua ni kama dereva wa gari au daktari wa upasuaji. Tusipoangalia siasa katika mifano hii basi tutaishi kufikiria kwamba siasa haituhusu #SemaNaCitizen

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

Martin Chomba – Mchanganuzi wa Uchumi: Shida Kenya si shida ya sheria bali ni shida ya uongozi. Mwananchi wa kawaida amekubali kwamba siasa ni ya watu wachafu #SemaNaCitizen

Martin Chomba: We have to spend the bulk of our budget on recurrent expenditure, leaving very little room for development. However, that is not the only issue, as these are the same challenges facing families; you will find many of them living hand to mouth #CitizenDayBreak

Politics must not be a dirty game

[SpiceFM @SpiceFMKE]

Martin Chomba: When we say politics is a dirty game, many good people shy away from it but that raises an important question: who do we leave leadership to? If capable and principled individuals step back, the space is often left to those willing to play the dirty game.

Modernize or perish

[SpiceFM @SpiceFMKE]

Martin Chomba: Kenya must prioritize investment in modern infrastructure to strengthen the country’s energy sector and ensure long-term stability. At the same time, oil marketers are being urged not to halt fuel sales to independent petroleum dealers, warning that such a move could easily trigger panic in the market.

Leadership is the problem in Africa

[SpiceFM @SpiceFMKE]

Martin Chomba: In Africa, the challenge is not a lack of resources but a leadership problem. Hope alone cannot be a strategy. Leaders must move beyond relying on optimism and begin investing deliberately in industries that will drive sustainable growth and economic independence.

If the conflict prolong we might face the music

[SpiceFM @SpiceFMKE]

Martin Chomba: There is no immediate cause for concern in Kenya at the moment because of existing fuel supply arrangements. We currently import fuel from Saudi Arabia but if the war drags on, the country could begin to feel the pressure. It is therefore important to start making contingency plans before our reserves run out.

Marketing and logistics in matters oil are changing

[SpiceFM @SpiceFMKE]

Martin Chomba: We are likely to witness a major shift in the way oil is marketed around the world and Kenya must begin preparing for that reality. The country needs to build strategic fuel reserves that can last up to five months to cushion the economy against global shocks, while also investing in industries that will strengthen local production and reduce long-standing dependency.
