jus hope someone is not eyeing to make cash out of the full mtungis..the prices might rocket up based on cost/kg of the smaller quantities. the idea is gud to accomodate low income segment, but deep down the intention maybe evil..this is Kenya, we know 'these' people dont just do stuff to help people.

@magigi my 6kg gas cyclinder takes me 6 months baba. 2-3 months is nothing, the last i refilled was august 15th, it can still boil meat/githeri as of now and yes i cook breko and supper everyday, lunch occasionally

The lower income bracket does not just consist of slum dwellers. It has many more people(maybe some of us too). Residential areas like Huruma, Zimmermann, Kawangware, Kangemi would provide a market for the gas.

Why would a family man earning 25k not consider buying the gas instead of the cumbersome and slow kerosene stove? The one-off cost will deter a few but if people from across the economic divide have been able to buy mobile phones, then this could easily be the answer to better energy for that sector.

mnjoro umeongea kama watu kumi na mbili, and that red corner is very true.

These guys are going to mint money. The market in Kenya is converging towards Convenience and Flexibility. Ask Safaricom. Even "rich' guys occasionally buy a Bamba 50, not because they can't afford a higher denomination but because sometimes you just dont have the money with you. Same thinking for the Pima Gas. If you dont have the 3,800 to refill the 13kg cylinder chances are you can get some 300 bob or so to buy the Pima gas which will push you for a couple of cookings as you make plans to refill the main mtungi.
