Some 34.7 percent of cooking gas storage and filling stations have failed to meet the required standards including those relating to safety, maintenance, risk management and emergency preparedness, posing a risk to people living near the facilities.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has revealed that it conducted routine compliance tests on 18 liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage and filling stations in the period between July and December 2023 but only 65.3 percent passed the threshold.
