Households are feeling the pinch of higher energy costs following an increase in the average price of a 13-kilogramme cylinder of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by more than Sh100 since December.
The average price of the cooking gas had dropped to Sh1,977 from Sh2,020 in November, a survey by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows, but this has since tracked back above the Sh2,000 mark following a general increase in fuel process globally.
