Speaking during the signing ceremony, Olivier Sabrié, Group Managing Director of Rubis Energy Kenya, said the company recognises the significance of travel and tourism in Kenya’s economy.
“We also acknowledge that travel agents play a key role in keeping this sector vibrant. By partnering with KATA, we are making it easier and more affordable for them to run their operations. This partnership is not just about fuel savings, but also about empowering an industry that connects Kenyans to the world and fuels economic growth. Rubis is proud to be a trusted partner in this journey,” said Sabrié, in a press release seen by News 9.
