Is fuel smuggling Kenya's top economic drain

Despite Libya's significant oil reserves, it spends billions of dollars annually on fuel imports due to limited refining capacity and a lack of coordination in fuel subsidy management. The generous subsidy system, which offers fuels at low prices, creates strong incentives for fuel smuggling across borders—especially to neighboring countries where prices are higher—leading to substantial waste of financial resources and negatively impacting the national economy. The situation is worsening in inventory management and supply chain processes, with increasing smuggling activities raising import costs and hindering reform efforts. Meanwhile, experts are working to improve oversight systems and develop subsidy mechanisms to curb this phenomenon.
