The Energy Act, 2006 is presently the primary legislation in Kenya that contains
provisions for the management of the petroleum sub-sector. Section 102 (h), (m)
and (v) empowers the Minister responsible for Energy to promulgate regulations
for the environmentally sound management of petroleum related facilities and
infrastructure. Waste-oil recycling plant by virtue of handling petroleum products
automatically becomes a petroleum facility and therefore this legislation is
relevant.
