Ex-Epra Boss Accused of Bribery To Join Politics
Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) Director-General, Pavel Oimeke resigned last month as he eyes a career in politics.
In a statement this week, Oimeke said he submitted his resignation to the Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter on February 16.
His resignation comes after he was accused of demanding a Sh200,000 bribe to reopen a petrol station in Oyugis, Homa Bay County that had been shut down over tax violations.
Oimeke’s first term at the helm of the energy regulator expired on August 1, 2020, but he secured another three-year term on July 27 the same year.
