Jinga idea which is likely to fall flat on it's face.To refill 1KG you will require 300 bob.Put any other way,it's 3900 to a 13Kg cylinder.I get the same 13Kg at sub 3K.....Well.....50 bob will give you 167 grams of gas.....What would you cook with 167 grams of gas?NKT!



I always use my 6kg for 2-3months, so if i use it for 2 months it means i consume daily 100g. so you know what one can do with 167g!!!!smile


...The day you will have a family utainua mikono!!! You can party for now because I think you only washa your gas to make 'strungi'.


Liar We cook every meal we need including the so called 'strungi'. ges u have a big family tell us how many kgs u consume in a day, Figures Required.

Good idea especially for the lower income segment of the market. Kerosene demand will probably fall. But the kadogo economy products are often expensive.


This is a good idea but will take alot of resources to implement-and most individuals will not afford as all these additional costs will be passed downwards

Those who are backing it just coz it's a kadogo economy are missing a thing or two. What is the cost of the filling infrastructure? Is it viable to have them in every target settlement? Let's say we have such filling unit in mathare, how about those living in korogocho, kiambiu etc? Are they going to put them up in every informal settlement to reach their target market? Will they board a mat, to n fro, to fetch a 100bob gas,if the refilling point is a distance? Another thing, if one can afford to buy the cylinder,chances are they can afford to refill the whole cylinder. If one can only buy 200 or 100 bob worth of gas,chances are,they won't bother buying the cylinder in the first place. And to those who are saying people are rich, cut the bigotry. People are criticizing an idea,which has nothing to do with the depth of their pockets. As i said,it could fly,but i say it's a sheep to me.

I was talking to someone who has a 13kg gas cylinder she is unable to buy it at ksh 3500 so she has opted to buy kerosene @ 100 daily she argues its more manageable but she has to deal with the pungent smell that can rival a teargas canister when she has done cooking.

Cooking gas dispenser to allow refill for 50/=


Premier Gas, a cooking gas dealer, says the new product will shield the users from health and environmental hazards associated with charcoal use.


The firm has developed a mobile calibrated LPG pump that allows for partial refills from a minimum of Sh50.


The gas will be sold through one kilogramme cylinders in the market with a refill costing Sh300.


Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics shows the country consumed 61,400 tonnes of cooking gas last year, translating into a per capita consumption of 1.59kg. This is below Africa’s average of three kilogrammes per person.


“Refilling will make it easy for consumers to purchase and use LPG. We aim to pull biomass and kerosene users to start using LPG,” said Michael Momanyi, the general manager of Premier Gas at the launch in Nairobi yesterday.


The empty one kilogramme cylinder will retail at Sh2,000. Currently, the smallest gas cylinder in the market has a capacity of 3kg.

My take is the idea is brilliant and can work. They may need to target the normal users of gas( middle class) and voila!!!!!, they are in business. They just need to be able to refill any mtungi for any amount i have in my pocket and we are all game!!!!
