Kenya is seeking a deal with Mozambique to secure long-term gas supplies, aiming to stabilise energy costs and diversify sources away from the Middle East, now engulfed in conflict.

President William Ruto, hosting Mozambique’s President Daniel Chapo at State House Nairobi, said Kenya imports liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Nigeria, the Middle East and via regional intermediaries in Tanzania.
