[PHOTOS] Long queues as fuel shortage hits country

Petrol stations across the country experienced long queues of motorists and motorcycle riders as fuel shortages hit most gas stations.

The fuel shortage came despite an assurance from the Kenya Pipeline Company on Saturday that it had enough fuel reserves in all their depot across the country to meet demand.

"Our global stock holding is adequate to serve the region, with more ships in Mombasa queued for discharge," KPC managing director Macharia Irungu said in a statement.

But on Monday, the queues at petrol stations told a story of a country facing an acute shortage of the precious commodity.
