Companies in Kenya have begun increasing the price of cooking gas to consumers by as much as KSh403 per 13-kilogram cylinder, blaming rising worldwide costs of the commodity and a depreciating Kenyan shilling.
“Due to the international increase in LPG rates that are beyond our control, we are also forced to increase our prices. We have taken into consideration all aspects but have been forced to apply the same to our clients,” said Lake Oil in a notice.
The price hike implies that customers will have to spend an extra KSh186 to refill a 6kg cylinder and KSh403 to refill a 13kg cylinder.
“Kindly take note that there shall be an increase of KSh31 per kilogramme inclusive of value added tax (VAT) effective immediately,” said the company.
