Kenya: Acute Gas Crisis Hits Towns

An acute shortage of liquefied petroleum (cooking) gas has hit major towns countrywide.

A Sunday Nation survey yesterday showed that some dealers had not received fresh supplies for the past three months.

And customers interviewed complained of difficulty in getting the commodity, forcing them to resort to other fuels

Attendants at the BP filling station at Ngara in Nairobi, Mr Sylvester Mutuku and Ms Roselyne Kanguhia, said they had been without gas for three months.

“Customers have been complaining, and when we send them to the depot, they are sent back to us, but we have no gas since we rely on the depot for supplies,” Mr Mutuku said.
