In the National Reporting Indicator Handbook for the newly
launched Fourth Medium Term Plan (MTP IV) 2023-2027, it was highlighted that
the distribution of the gas cylinders promised by Ruto would begin in the
current financial year.
According to the plan, 100,000 cylinders will be distributed
by July 1, 2024.
The government also revealed that an additional 100,000
cylinders will be delivered to low-income households in the 2024/2025 Financial
Year.
The remaining 300,000 will also be distributed in batches of
100,000 for every financial year between July 2025 and July 2028.
Notably, apart from the gas cylinders, the government will
also be distributing various accessories including burners.
Earlier, Energy Cabinet Secretary David Chirchir noted that
the government will also be introducing different sizes for the gas
cylinders explaining that most Kenyans still find difficulty in refilling
6kg cylinders which many Kenyans use.
Meanwhile, it was also revealed that the government would
also roll out a similar programme for schools that often use firewood.
Under the National Liquified Petroleum Gas Enhancement,
5,000 public boarding learning institutions will be provided with clean cooking
gas infrastructure.
100 of similar facilities are set to be provided to schools
by July 1.
Ruto had promised to deliver the subsidized gas cylinders to
every home by July 2023.
