The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) is a strategic asset and it will not be privatised, Energy and Petroleum CS Opiyo Wandayi has said.

Speaking during a visit to the company headquarters in Nairobi yesterday, the CS said the State and KPC management were exploring ways to lower pump prices.

“This is a strategic institution, with serious national security implications. It is an institution that the government has to hold onto for the foreseeable future and strategic positioning,” he said.

The company was last year listed among the government-owned entities that were up for privatisation.
