The High Court has dismissed a petition challenging a directive by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) requiring liquid petroleum gas (LPG) dealers to install closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras at the product filling zones.

Justice John Chigiti dismissed the petition by the Energy Dealers Association because it was filed in the wrong forum. The judge said the case should have first moved to the Energy and Petroleum Tribunal in the first instance and that the dealers had not shown that the tribunal was not accessible or that they would not get redress.
