Interior CS Kindiki Issues 6 directives to LPG gas traders: In a joint press release by the Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir and Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki, the government has ordered a nationwide crackdown to ensure compliance.
The statement read,”To sustain compliance efforts, the government will prioritize demolition of all illegal sites through the Multi-Agency Rapid Results Initiatives and ensure that fresh risk assessment is undertaken for all LPG plants in the country with the view of closing all non-compliant sites.”
Kindiki and Chirchir outlined that there will be an immediate rollout of government LPG growth which includes the development and implementation of a track and trace framework for LPG cylinders to improve traceability and accountability.
They stated,”Apply punitive administrative measures to all LPG operators found filling cylinders without the written authority of brand owners.
Notably, the ministries will hold nationwide LPG stakeholder workshops to strengthen the policy and regulatory framework in the LPG sector and hold public awareness and sensitization programs to promote LPG safety among the public.
This comes after an inferno on Thursday night gas explosion at an unlicensed cooking gas filling plant in Mradi, Embakasi Nairobi County, reduced properties down to ashes.
