The Senate Standing Committee on Energy has launched a formal inquiry into the controversial handover of a 30,000-metric-tonne Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage facility in Mombasa to Nigerian firm Asharami Synergy Ltd. 

The move has raised major concerns about transparency, legality, and the sidelining of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), which had originally been tasked with developing the project.

The Senate has proceeded on recess from Thursday, 12th June 2025, and will resume sittings on Tuesday, 8th July 2025.

During this period, there will be no plenary sittings in the Senate Chamber. However, Senators will continue to carry out their legislative and oversight responsibilities through committee work, public engagements, and constituency-related activities.
