Nairobi, March 29 -- The opposition has reignited the debate on the thorny issue of the government-to-government (G2G) oil supply agreement between Kenya and three national oil exporters from the Gulf, demanding a status update on the multibillion-shilling deal.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, who is also the secretary-general of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), has sought a statement on the fate of the deal.

"The committee should inform the Senate of the current status of the [agreement], stating the oil marketing companies in Kenya currently involved and the intended end date," Mr Sifuna said.
