Energy and Petroleum CS Davis Chirchir when he appeared before t he National Dialogue Committee at Bomas of Kenya on November 06, 2023. [Samson Wire, Standard]The Senate has summoned the Energy Cabinet Secretary Davies Chirchir and Energy Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) Director General Daniel Kiptoo to shed light over the Embakasi gas explosion that killed at least 10 people. This is after the CS failed to honour an invite to appear in the Senate on Wednesday. We see people open petrol stations and gas filling plants in congested residential areas which I think expose Kenyans to danger. On February 6, a truck ferrying Liquefied Petroleum Gas exploded in Mradi estate, Embakasi, leaving a trail of death and destruction.
