Ruto’s 8 Rules for Fuel Tankers & Cooking Gas
Eight rules pertaining to the usage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and fuel transportation have been announced by President William Ruto. According to Ruto’s State of National Security Report, which was submitted to Parliament in November, the government plans to limit LPG refilling hours to six in the morning and six in the evening.
In an attempt to increase Kenyans’ safety, his administration would also promote the use of technology to trace the movement of every gas cylinder.”In the future, the government will examine the guidelines and suggested procedures pertaining to the inspection and clearance of LPG and petroleum products.
“The government will also fast-track the development of the regulations to the Petroleum Act, 2019 to enhance the management of the energy sector,” according to a portion of the report. Conversely, the Kenya Kwanza administration intends to create safe and secure storage areas for seized product exhibits and expedite the hiring of new employees for the EPRA enforcement department.
Additionally, Ruto informed Parliament that the government will soon forbid the export of spent gas cylinders. It was clarified that some of the used cylinders exported frequently burst, giving the nation a negative reputation. The Head of State promised to work with the county government to reserve land for gasoline tanker parking in order to facilitate the transfer of petroleum products.Major accidents on the road have frequently been caused by fuel tankers, particularly when they are involved in road carnage.
In other cases, the trailers are typically parked along the sides of the road, making it difficult for cars to see and creating traffic congestion. “In addition, a multitude of issues, such as unregistered petroleum facilities, have been brought about by the lax implementation of numerous legal frameworks and/or laws controlling the industry. “In addition, the country has witnessed some petroleum facilities being utilized as dens for dumping, adulteration and siphoning of petroleum products mainly along the northern corridor,” Ruto stated in his report.
