Kenyans have raised alarm about a worrying trend involving the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) using undesignated means, which is against the law.
These concerns were brought forward on Wednesday, April 2, during the Public Education and Stakeholder Engagement Forum in Isiolo County, where officials flagged some unsafe LPG practices in the county.
During the session by Senior Public Education and Advocacy Officer Peter Kirukmet alongside Senior Surveillance Officers Davis Adul and Leah George, the county fire department officials raised alarm over an emerging trend of the transportation of LPG cylinders in public service vehicles.
The fire department observed that this was prevalent in many rural areas, presumably because of the less strict enforcement of regulations.
