Energy regulator tells PS to stop LPG crackdown

The energy regulator has criticised Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho’s crackdown on businesses breaching the new cooking gas rules amid fears that the spate of arrests will trigger a shortage of LPG.

Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) Director-General Pavel Oimeke has asked the Interior PS to allow the regulator to enforce the new rules, which were introduced in July and which will be fully applied starting from December.
