Our team led by Manager, Public Education and Advocacy, Ms. Bessie Atieno, Senior Public Education Officer Mr. Peter Kikurmet alongside Mr. Patrick Burure, the ACC of Central Division engaged local stakeholders on critical energy issues. Key discussions centered around the illegal importation of LPG through the porous Kenya-Tanzania border, thereby raising concerns on compliance, economic and safety. The team emphasized the importance of safe transportation and handling of LPG products, ensuring that all stakeholders are compliant with national regulations to safeguard the community. They also sensitized the retailers to desist from offering for sale LPG cylinders from brands that are not licensed to operate in the country.
