Ring-fencing the Fuel Stabilization Fund

The Kenya Kwanza Government promised to set up a legal framework to ring-fence the Fuel Stabilization Fund.

The fuel stabilization fund is established under the Petroleum Development Fund Act and the Petroleum Development Levy Order, 2020. Thus far, there is no public record of the amendment of the legal framework for the fuel stabilization fund in an effort to ring-fence the same.
In late 2025, the government introduced the Petroleum Development Levy (Amendment) Order, 2025. While this updated some levy collection procedures, it did not provide the comprehensive “ring-fencing” architecture promised to ensure the fund is used exclusively for price stabilization.
