We are going to remove all taxes Levied on cooking gas- President Ruto.
The head of state, president William Ruto has promised to removed all taxes levied on cooking gas.
Speaking at the launch of Taif gas at Dongo Kundu, the commander in chief stated that he is working on plan, to make sure local cooking gas is affordable to every Kenyan.
He stated,” In the next three years, all Kenyan houses will have cooking gas which is way affordable.”
“We are going to remove all taxes that are currently being levied on cooking gas so that we can make sure that every household in the Republic of Kenya has access to affordable LPG and we eliminate the wood fuel,” Ruto added.
He further ordered top managers at the Kenya Pipeline Company Limited (KPC) to expand local terminal storage capacity of LPG gas, to make it available to everyone.
This project of reducing cost of cooking gas in Kenya will see an increase in capacity from 30,000 tonnes to 45,000 tonnes of LPG gas.
President Ruto stated,”I have ordered these officials to ensure that we have enough local capacity to store and process this gas in order to save our mothers from dangerous biomass cooking.”
He stated that his project is aimed to reach every corner including schools where they will abandon the use of biomass and adopt cooking gas.
He stated,”By 2025, we expect all our schools and other institutions to have put in place mechanisms that ensure a modern way of cooking by cooking gas.”
