Consumer prices of cooking gas in Kenya may climb by as much as KSh403 ($3.23) for a 13-kilogramme cylinder as companies started adjusting their rates, citing higher global costs of the commodity and a weakened Kenyan shilling against the dollar.
For example, oil marketing company Lake Oil Group, which sells the Lake Gas brand of cooking gas, Thursday notified its customers that it will raise gas prices by KSh31 ($0.25) per kilogramme, effective immediately, citing an increase in global prices of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
