Households feel the heat as gas prices hit 22-month high

Cooking gas prices have shot to a 22-month high, returning to levels seen before the government removed value added tax (VAT) on the clean fuel.

Official data shows that the cost of refilling a 13-kilogramme gas cylinder rose to an average of Sh2,172 last month, up from 2, 169 in March and Sh2,083 in April last year.
