Marketers blame fallen Triton for fuel shortage

Triton Energy (K) Ltd, a sister firm to Triton Petroleum, was also put under receivership on December 22, 2008.

Kereto Marima and Ian Small were appointed Joint Receivers of petroleum products of Triton Energy pursuant to a debenture dated July 8, 2008 the firm had granted Fortis Bank of Netherlands.

Marima and Small said their attention had been drawn to various parties purporting to sell 12,000 MT of diesel belonging to Triton Energy held on various terminals and depots in Kenya.

“The company through the Receivers, will seek legal remedies against any party who fails to heed this notification, including requiring to account fully for consignment or the proceeds thereof,” they said.
