As more Kenyans turn to modern energy sources like LPG, electricity, and petroleum to power their homes and businesses, the risk of deadly accidents has escalated-prompting the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to launch a nationwide safety awareness initiative dubbed Kaa Safe Mtaani.

The campaign is a direct response to rising incidents of energy-related tragedies, the most notable being the Embakasi Mradi LPG explosion in February 2024.
