The price of cooking gas increased by 1.7 percent over last year amid a rally in global prices and a weak shilling which negated the tax cut on the product.

A 13-kilogramme filled cylinder of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was refilling at an average of Sh3,032 in December last year, according to data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
