The average cost of cooking gas has shot back to levels that prompted the Ruto administration to scrap the eight percent value-added tax (VAT) in a bid to lower prices and raise use in line with Kenya’s policy to transition to clean energy.
Households paid Sh3,031.82 on average to refill a 13-kilogramme liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder in November, the latest official data shows, near the Sh3,069.01 level in June when the eight percent VAT last applied.
