Sunday, February 4, 2024 - Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has exposed another gas company illegally operating in a residential area.
This follows the deadly gas explosion in Embakasi where a company was illegally operating in a residential area.
The explosion left 3 people dead and over 300 others seriously injured.
Kuria secretly filmed the
operation of the gas company that posed a grave danger similar to what happened
in the Mradi area, Embakasi.
In a short video posted on his X page, formerly known as Twitter, Moses Kuria alleged that the
said company is in a residential area.
Kuria gave specific directions
telling the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) that the gas
company is next to Kiandutu Police Station.
The CS claimed that the gas
filling plant is not branded. He further wondered if the plant had obtained
relevant authorisation from the government.
Kuria, however, implored EPRA to
carry out a risk assessment and ascertain if the company's operations are legal
and the danger it poses to adjacent neighbours.
"Dear EPRA, this gas-filling place next to Kiandutu Police Station in Thika is the next Embakasi.
"What I know is that it's not branded.
"There is no name at the premises.
"What I do not know is whether it has licenses.
"I suspect it is not. What I do not know is whether the reports from locals that the police spent the whole day there receiving bribes are true.
"That is for you to verify," Moses
Kuria wrote.
