Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) dealers have taken legal action to challenge new regulations established by the government following the Embakasi fire explosion that resulted in seven fatalities and hundreds of injuries.

On February 26, 2024, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) issued a circular mandating that all companies involved in liquefied petroleum gas must install closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras.
