The cooking gas industry was thrown into chaos this week after conflicting reports emerged about a five-million-kilogramme gas shipment imported by Kilifi-based Tanzanian gas firm Lake Gas.
While the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) was said to have rejected the cargo over safety concerns, the standards body later contradicted the reports, stating it had given the shipment a clean bill of health for the firm to release the product into the Kenyan market.
