Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has been taken to task by Senators to explain why the plan by the Kenya Pipeline Company to develop the cooking gas handling facility in Mombasa was quashed and the project handed over to Asharami Synergy which is a subsidiary of Sahara Group in Nigeria.

Wandayi who was responding to concerns raised by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah said the execution of the cooking gas handling facility in Mombasa by way of lease arrangement to the private sector is expressly provided for in the Cabinet directive on the implementation of the National LPG growth strategy.
