The Energy, Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has conducted a two days training for stakeholders in the North Rift region to sensitize them as part of the Kaa Safe Mtaani campaign aimed at raising awareness on safety and regulatory standards around use of LPG, electricity and petroleum products.
The Deputy Director Public Education and Advocacy in the North Rift region, Ann Kiprotich, underscored that the campaign comes against the backdrop of increasing accidents and incidents in the sector like petroleum tankers rolling over on the road and Kenyans running to scoop the fuel oblivious of the danger that doing so can do to their lives.
Interviewed by the press during the training held in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, Kiprotich noted that Kaa Safe Mtaani is a national multi stakeholder campaign which brings on board various stakeholders, industry experts, consumers and members of the public, youth led groups, women groups and others because safety is a very critical pillar.
Following the launch of Kaa Safe Mtaani in April, the Authority has already conducted the campaign in other regions like in Machakos, Nyeri to cover the central and Isiolo for the upper eastern region.
