The government is considering a shift to a floating charge on the fuel anti-adulteration levy to maximise collections to fund the supply of free cooking gas cylinders to poor households.

The levy was introduced through the Finance Act of 2018 following an amendment to the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies Act of 2016 at Sh18 for every litre of illuminating kerosene imported.
