By EDWIN OKOTHMore by this AuthorThe government has rescinded the ban on night transport of petroleum products between 6.30pm to 6.30 am. “By 6.30pm, some tankers found themselves in populated areas without safe parking. For this reason, it was resolved that tankers on the road by 6.30pm should be driven to the next safe parking point which is currently the practice,”Mr Kinyua said. The Energy (Licensing of Petroleum Road Transportation Business) Regulations, 2013, however, stipulates that tankers are to be driven between 6.30am and 6.30pm. An attempt to implement the law in January sparked a standoff between petroleum distributors and the ministry of energy.
