The use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has increased by 83 per cent, according to the Petroleum Institute of East Africa (PIEA).
PIEA indicated that the average sales of LPG in metric tonnes during the first half of 2016 stood at 81,356 compared to 44,360 recorded in the same period in the previous year. This, according to the institute's head, Powell Maimba, was partially attributable to the waiver of Value Added Tax and remittance of data by all LPG, meaning that everything was recorded.
