Kenya plans to subsidise the cost of cooking gas cylinders to promote safer sources of energy to households.
The government says it intends to promote liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the preferred alternative source of energy for cooking, replacing kerosene, charcoal and firewood, which are used by 87 per cent of Kenyans.
