The incident comes months after another gas explosion in Embakasi’s Mradi area killed six people and left more than 270 others seriously injured.
The blast, which took place in February and left several people nursing injuries, saw households moved to social halls after their homes were also affected.
Among the agencies that were sued included the National Environment Management Authority, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority, and the County Government of Nairobi.
The Attorney General, Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Cabinet Secretary for Energy, and the owner of the gas tanker that exploded were also mentioned as interested parties.
The petitioners claimed that the respondents had awarded operating licenses and approvals to the tanker to operate and had failed to take necessary action after the blast occurred.
