- Read Time: 1 min
The LPG Regulations 2019 have been designed to deliver a robust legal and regulatory framework that creates confidence for both LPG investors and LPG consumers.
To this end, supply chain licensing has been structured to create effective and sufficient infrastructure that enables the timely importing and storage of the necessary quantities of LPG and an adequate quantity of safe LPG cylinders made accessible to consumers through a well-developed and documented distributor network.
The criteria created for licensing has, furthermore, been designed to address all previous loopholes and omissions that impeded a conducive business environment and guaranteed consumer safety, supported by enhanced penalties to secure those aims.
Participation in the LPG supply chain without a valid license will incur a penalty of Sh5m and three years’ imprisonment.
