Had the pleasure of meeting with Ms. Mary Waihenya, proprietor of Zodiac Exporters Ltd.
Our discussions focused on opportunities to expand the presence of Kenyan agricultural products in the Belgian and broader European markets. We explored ways of strengthening trade linkages, addressing market access requirements, and promoting greater engagement between Kenyan exporters and European buyers.
Zodiac Exporters Ltd.'s work in the trading, brokerage, and export of agricultural commodities aligns with Kenya's efforts to diversify and increase exports.
The Kenya Mission in Brussels remains committed to supporting Kenyan businesses seeking to access Belgium and the European Union market and to fostering partnerships that advance Kenya's trade and investment objectives.
A very serious fuel shortage is about to hit Kenya and it will not be an accident of fate. It will be a failure of leadership.
The war in Iran has destabilized global oil markets. The Strait of Hormuz the artery that carries nearly 20% of the world’s oil is under threat. When that chokepoint shakes, the entire planet feels it. Oil prices spike. Insurance costs explode. Tankers stall. Supply chains choke.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth: every serious country prepares for this. Kenya did not.
We import almost all our fuel. We have no strategic petroleum cushion worth mentioning. We locked ourselves into fragile external supply arrangements and prayed global stability would hold. Now it hasn’t and ordinary Kenyans will pay the price.
If pumps run dry next week, matatus stop, food prices surge, and small businesses collapse under transport costs, don’t blame Iran. Don’t blame global markets. Blame the man who promised competence and “bottom-up economics” yet built no buffer for a predictable geopolitical shock.
Leadership is not chest-thumping at rallies. Leadership is planning for worst-case scenarios before they happen.
When oil prices surged before, excuses were ready. When global shocks happened before, fingers pointed elsewhere. But governance is about anticipation. The Middle East has been a powder keg for decades. Any serious administration would have built reserves, diversified supply routes, secured alternative contracts, and insulated citizens from exactly this type of crisis.
Instead, we are exposed.
If fuel disappears from stations next week, it will not just be a supply issue. It will be proof that this government runs on public relations instead of preparedness.
And when transport fares double, when unga rises again, when manufacturers scale down, remember: wars don’t cripple nations. Weak leadership does.
Even after assuring us we had enough on storage,Broadbased CS Opiyo has called an emergency meeting that involves a fuel shortage crisis. Its time to kick these bagas out. This cannot be the government that determines my future
NYPD is already arresting BLM lunatics outside the courthouse where Daniel Penny was found innocent.
This would never have happened in 2020 because BLM had free rein to do whatever they pleased. But NOT AGAIN.
Good on those cops.

Fact we failed to run these parastatals. Let others do it and who knows this could be the silver lining of this mess. Get me a working airline, working port, cheap reliable electricity ....then I dont care who is the MD or who is in the board of these firms.
