In a strategic move to advance the government's LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Growth Strategy, the Principal Secretary for Petroleum, Mohammed Liban, has emphasized the importance of establishing common user facilities to reduce the cost of gas and increase accessibility for Kenyans and the wider East African region.
Speaking during an official inspection tour of the Lake Gas LPG storage and handling facility in Vipingo, PS Mohamed Liban CBS assured that the government will work closely with key stakeholders, African Gas and Oil Company (AGOL) and the Kenya Pipeline Refineries Limited (KPRL), to streamline LPG infrastructure through shared facilities that will benefit both the public and private sector players. "Once we have common user facilities in place, we will be able to significantly reduce the price of gas, making it more accessible and affordable for Kenyans.
This is part of our larger vision for a regional procurement and distribution strategy that will ultimately reach every household," Liban said.
The push for common user facilities, regional LPG depots, and increased private investment is part of the government's broader LPG Growth Strategy.
