A Nairobi-based transporter plans to put up a Sh1.1 billion plant that will manufacture cooking gas cylinders in Murang’a County.

When complete, it will be the third major gas cylinder manufacturer in the country after the more established East Africa Spectre, owned by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s family, and Allied East Africa based in Kisaju.
