Energy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir risks being fined Sh500,000 if he fails to honour summons by the Senate Energy Committee which is investigating the Embakasi gas explosion that killed at least 10 people and injured more than 300.
The committee chaired by Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga had invited Chirchir and Energy Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) Director General Daniel Kiptoo over the gas explosion but the CS sent a letter explaining that he was out of the country on official duties.
