Cooking gas prices heated to an all-time high of Sh3,231.84 for the 13-kilogramme cylinder in March, defying State-backed efforts to lower the cost of the fuel, including scrapping of the eight percent value-added tax.
Fresh data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows the average prices of the commodity continued on an upward trend during the month after they rose 1.4 percent from the Sh3,187.10 recorded in February, which translated into a three percent year-on-year jump.
