10 Petrol Stations Closed as EPRA Intensifies Fuel Quality Checks

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has shut down a petrol station in the latest crackdown.

The development follows an inspection conducted by EPRA officials between July and September 2025, during which 1,303 were found compliant, while 12 were found non-compliant, resulting in the closure of 10 petrol stations.

However, the regulator announced the reopening of a site in Nakuru County after the station paid Ksh 102,400 in penalties for reportedly selling diesel containing high sulphur.

To ensure continuous compliance with regulations, EPRA called on the public to remain vigilant about petrol stations selling adulterated fuel products.

The Authority maintains a hotline number, 0709 366 000, operational during normal working hours to enhance enforcement and compliance activities. Members of the public are requested to report cases of petroleum fuel adulteration or export dumping. The Authority will undertake continuous monitoring of the quality of petroleum motor fuels on sale, transport and storage throughout the country,” EPRA stated.
