“G-to-G Was My Idea”: Former Raila Ally Speaks Out on Fuel Deal Amid Museveni Revelations

Former Raila ally Benji Ndolo has spoken out on the G to G fuel deal, saying it was his idea for the betterment of the people of Kenya and that he is very gifted with ideas.

Speaking on the Iko Nini Podcast, Ndolo said the concept was developed to help the government address the foreign exchange pressures and fuel supply concerns that emerged around 2022, when Kenya was grappling with a dollar shortage that affected oil imports.

“G to G was not my idea for business; it was my idea for the betterment of people. I am very gifted with ideas,” he said.

According to Ndolo, the proposal was intended to allow the government to negotiate directly for fuel supplies instead of relying on the traditional monthly open tender system, which he argued had become vulnerable during the economic crisis.

However, Ndolo maintained that the eventual implementation of the G-to-G arrangement differed significantly from the original concept he had envisioned.

He argued that the final structure involved brokers and intermediary players, raising concerns about transparency and making it difficult for the public to fully understand how the arrangement operated.

The G-to-G fuel programme has remained a subject of public debate, with critics questioning the role of private middlemen in transactions described as government-to-government agreements and raising concerns about their effect on fuel pricing in Kenya and neighbouring countries, including Uganda.

His remarks came amid renewed discussion about the G-to-G arrangement following recent public comments by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.

His comments have brought fresh attention to regional fuel supply dynamics and the structure of oil import deals in East Africa.

Critics, on the other hand, have continued to call for greater transparency over its implementation and the involvement of private entities.
