EPRA Boss Dies, Authority Announces
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority is grieving the loss of Silas Cheboi, its Assistant Director for Surveillance and Enforcement
The authority announced his death on August 13, describing the news as a significant blow to the organisation and everyone who worked alongside him. Cheboi’s departure leaves a noticeable gap in a department responsible for ensuring compliance and integrity within the energy sector.
In its official statement, the authority expressed deep sorrow. “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Mr Silas Cheboi, Assistant Director, Surveillance & Enforcement at the Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA),” it said. The message continued, “His passing is a profound loss to the Authority, his colleagues, and all those who had the privilege of working with him.”
Those who served with Cheboi recall a professional who approached every task with commitment and strong ethical standards. Colleagues highlight his consistent dedication to the authority’s core responsibilities, noting that his approach helped shape the way surveillance and enforcement activities were conducted. His sense of integrity left a lasting impression on the teams he led and supported.
Cheboi’s role placed him at the centre of efforts to monitor and uphold regulations across the energy and petroleum industries. Through careful oversight, he contributed to maintaining standards that protect consumers and promote fair practices. The authority has emphasised that his steady commitment stood out throughout his career and influenced the department’s overall performance.
As EPRA comes to terms with the loss, attention turns to honouring the memory of a dedicated public servant. Further details about funeral arrangements and tributes are expected in the coming days. For now, the focus remains on remembering a colleague whose professionalism and integrity helped strengthen the work of the regulatory body.
