NMG Leadership Forum: National Petroleum Conference – A View from the Bottom

Participants join this seminar to gain a transparent understanding of the petroleum value chain and the "gross margin" myths that often cloud public perception. The conference provides a rare "open book" look at how fuel prices are built, explaining why a 177 Shilling liter of petrol leaves retailers with only a few cents of net profit. It is a vital platform for independent dealers to learn about upcoming regulatory changes—such as the new "radius" rule for petrol stations—and to advocate for a more equitable "Open Tender System" (OTS) that protects smaller players from being "trampled" by multinationals
