The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has come out to absolve itself from blame on the Embakasi gas explosion that resulted in the deaths of at least three people and injuries of 280 others.

In a statement, the authority said it received three applications last year for permission to build a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage and filling facility at the site.
