The State is seeking to allow more cooking gas dealers to sell the commodity using a token-based model to give consumers more flexibility and drive use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

This will be implemented in the Guidelines on Licensing LPG Cylinders Smart Meter Technology Providers, 2025, which will see Kenya embrace the sale of cooking gas on a pay-as-you-go basis. This will see the country move away from the current situation in which over 90 percent of the commodity is sold in packages that do not offer consumers payment flexibility.
