Embattled Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) director-general Pavel Oimeke has bowed out of the State agency.
Mr Oimeke, in a statement on Tuesday, said he submitted his resignation to the Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter on February 16.
He leaves the energy sector regulator amid a corruption case in which he is accused of demanding a Sh200,000 bribe to reopen a petrol station, charges he denies.
“I Pavel Robert Oimeke, EBS would like to announce my resignation from the position of director-general at the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority,” he said.
