Energy Cabinet Secretary (CS) Opiyo Wandayi on Monday disowned a controversial deal to import fuel worth Sh12 billion, telling lawmakers he neither knew about it nor approved it.

Mr Wandayi told the National Assembly Energy Committee that the importation was carried out without his knowledge and outside the legally recognised government-to-government (G-to-G) contract.
