Among the listed filling stations that failed to meet the standards set by the regulator in 2013 were located in Kiambu(Delta Thika Road Service Station), Machakos(King Size filling Station), Kajiado(Vivasa Energy Filling Station), and Bungoma(Frankstar Solution Filling Station)

The Vivasa Energy Filling Station in Kajiado County was closed because it sold diesel and super petrol that had been mixed with domestic kerosene and had a high sulphur level.

The super petrol pouring pump at the King Size filling station in Mwala has since been sealed for the same infraction.After the closure of its super petrol dispensing pumps due to adulteration, Delta Thika Road Service Station has in the interim paid taxes and fines estimated at KSh.500,000.

Frankstar Solution Filling Station in Bungoma County on the other hand, had to close its super fuel pumps for selling goods intended for export.

EPRA issued a hotline number that Kenyans can use to enhance enforcement and compliance activities.

“The authority maintains a hotline number (0709336000), operational during normal working hours to enhance enforcement and compliance activities.”
