Stakeholders within the Liquified Petroleum Products (LPG) sector have raised fears over the possibility of a hike in the prices of gas-related products should the government implement a set of new regulations in the sector.
The stakeholders maintained that the requirement for many licences in the LPG industry is set to have a ripple effect of a higher in the prices of by-products such as cooking gas for households.
This is despite the government's promise to Kenyans to ensure that the prices of LPG products, especially for households, drop to encourage uptake.
Currently the prices of refining gas cylinders retail at Ksh1000 and Ksh3500 for 6 and 13 kg cylinders.
