Ruto Announces Changes in Gas Business
The president was Speaking during the commissioning of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Programme for public institutions at Jamhuri High School in Nairobi on Monday, December 16.
The head of state announced that the government will use the open tender system for procurement of its gas products.
Ruto cited that the decision to move to the Open Tender System(OTS), will enable consumers of gas products to access them at cheaper prices.
He further revealed that the directive is part of the ongoing government efforts to reduce carbon impacts from the use of fossil fuels.
Ruto also highlighted that the government will work closely with private sector players, who would want to engage in the importation of gas products.
According to Ruto, the directive will now mean that the LPG sector procurement will run the same as the petroleum products tendering system.
