Kenya walks a tightrope in Dangote fuel supply deal amid exclusivity row, pipeline stake

Kenya has not yet formalised a fuel supply agreement with Aliko Dangote. Government officials are divided over whether to allow Dangote to supply the entire domestic market or only a portion, in order to preserve diversification of fuel sources.

Why it matters: The disagreement bears on energy security, because the choice between exclusive supply and diversified sources affects Kenya's fuel procurement.
