They have been toying with the idea for a while. I notice that Wazuans discussed it back in 2011If it happens, be prepared to be blowing yourselves every week. Kenyanwallstreet wrote:Ministry of Energy Principle Secretary Andrew Kamau has announced the government’s plan to introduce piped cooking gas in residential areas.
In an interview with Ktn news, PS Kamau said that the gas would come directly to the kitchen through a pipe system, replacing the gas cylinders.
“We are about to change the legal notice to allow for piped gas to all those low-cost housing. So you do not have to move around with those cylinders. It will come to your kitchen through a prepaid meter if you want or through a metered system that can be billed to the provider,” said Mr Kamau.
He further affirmed the government’s capacity to do so citing other upmarket estates areas that have installed such piped gas.The project would be realized through the government’s affordable housing project.
In 2018, the government halted similar plans over safety concerns, lack of appropriate infrastructure and lack of gas reserves "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Are they trying to kill people? Are they talking about low cost housing built by the government ama the ones that are build by raia and keep collapsing?
Which upmarkets estates have piped gas in kenya?

If they cannot manage water system to avoid mixing with sewer leading to cholera outbreaks sembuse gas? "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

You need to have faith & trust in your government. This will be a big infrastructure development by Jubilee. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Before one can walk, one has to learn to crawl. Jubilee has not even started crawling but now want to do a sprint. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least."

Lets have some visualization To your house from the main line My guess is they would target high population density areas served from a central storage tank hence not require compressors. Its not feasible in our shagz, but this is where they may target to eat ☺ I care!

It would be a great move and kill that inconvenience of 'gas imeisha'. Wouldn't this affect petroleum companies? Will they take it lying low? I expect a fightback

I don't think I can trust them to deliver the gas safely, they will obviously compromise on the piping through corruption.

Another step forward. Which estate will pilot the program? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

It's a noble idea, I don't know any high-end estate with piped gas, it's not more economical than cylinder gas, we tried doing it on a high-rise we are working for, but after the London tower fire the client decided against it, first let's check the wayleaves we have even in high-end estates, not very clear we dig up roads without notice to even kenya power how will we handle gas, I think that before we lay gas pipes we need to check our footpaths, roads, sewer, power lines storm water drains, internet lines then gas last.

We will blow ourselves up trying to make illegal connections.... That is, if alshabab will not have blown us the previous day. Stupid idea.
