While the government fights illegal gas refilling stations and fuel siphoning dens in Industry Areas and around the country in general, let the operation be fair since the process is done for the sake of Kenyans who suffer when a disaster occurs.
Last week on Thursday a crackdown on illegal petroleum business was conducted by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) that was triggered by an explosion of one such station in Embakasi last month.
Some of the traders affected in the crackdown have claimed that the exercise has been weaponized by business rivals to bring their businesses down, and called upon the two Authorities to conduct a credible operation.
According to Spotlight Justice’s eye witness, there was a yard that was demolished along Pate Road leaving the adjacent yard at Rangwe Road untouched.
Let the law be emphasized without sparing anybody acting against them regardless of race and tribe for the sake of protecting the innocent Kenyans who suffer when these disasters occur.
