Almost 70 per cent of Liquefied Petroleum Gas in the Kenyan market is counterfeit.
Confirming this the newly appointed Anti-Counterfeit Agency Board chairman Polycarp Igathe has announced that the agency will conduct raids in all illegal gas filling stations in the country.
Crafty traders import their gas from Tanzania while some consignment comes through the port of Mombasa under the disguise of lab chemicals in special standard containers used to transport chemicals, the star newspaper reports.
Speaking to journalists in Mombasa Igathe has further highlighted that illegal gas filling stations have widely spread countrywide, posing a great risk on the lives of users.
