Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has raised an alarm over another cooking gas filling plant in Thika.
According to Kuria, the plant located in the Kiandutu slums, Kiambu County bears no identity and poses a similar danger similar to the one in Mradi, Embakasi that caused the Thursday night gas explosion and subsequent inferno.
The CS has directed the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to do due diligence and ensure compliance adding that he suspects the plant lacks a business permit.
"Dear@EPRA_Ke 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 on the premises. What I do not know is whether it's licensed. 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," the CS stated on his X account.
Moses Kuria's sentiments follow the Embakasi gas blast that was caused after a truck carrying gas blew up at about half past eleven on Thursday, February 1, 2024, at night before igniting a huge ball of fire that spread widely.
