The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority Board (Epra) board members were on Monday split on the fate of director-general Pavel Oimeke following his arrest last Thursday for allegedly demanding a Sh200,000 bribe to reopen a petrol station.

The board held a stormy meeting morning where questions were raised on whether Mr Oimeke should be allowed back to work on a day when the head of Kenya’s energy sector regulator was expected to approve new fuel prices for the month to January 15.
