The Kenya Pipeline Company has said that petroleum products supply across the country and the region has not been affected.
In a statement on Friday, KPC Managing Director Macharia Irungu said the country has stock across the country.
"We however wish to assure the public that the incident has not affected petroleum products availability both in the country and region. We have sufficient stocks for all the grades across our depots countrywide," he said.
Irungu called on area residents to take precaution and keep off the area as KPC conducts repairs.
"KPC is working closely with the Provincial Administration, the Police OCPD and other relevant arms of government to ensure safety of members of the public," he said.
KPC said the oil spillage was detected along the Sinendet-Kisumu pipeline at Kanyamedha area, at around 12:30 am.
The spillage had Police in Kisumu cordon off Kondele-Airport bypass road to keep away locals who had thronged the scene to scoop fuel, which was flowing into a nearby stream and drainages.
Kisumu sub county police commander Anthony Maina said the situation had been contained after KPC shut down the line to avert any danger.
He said no casualty was reported.
Maina added that they have launched investigations to establish whether it was an accident or deliberately caused.
