You can now exchange your cooking gas cylinder with any of these 40 licensed companies

Suppliers and distributors of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have been allowed to exchange their cooking gas cylinders without limitations. The exemption will see consumers allowed to exchange their empty cooking gas cylinders with a different brand as long one is among the licensed distributors.

According to the latest Members of the association will also refill and resell cylinders among themselves.

“It is notified for general information that the Authority has granted an exemption with respect to exclusive dealing among the members of the Association for a period of five years,’’ the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) says.

“Sharing of all other forms of commercially sensitive information including pricing, margins, volumes, input costs, capacity in the market, any specific information about customers, current or future product development plans, and proprietary information including trade secrets, knowhow, technological innovation and other intellectual property will be prohibited,” CAK added.

Licensed brand owners who refuse to recognize for exchange other brands should immediately be reported to the Commission. The Commission has installed a hotline number (0708 444 000), operational during normal working hours, with a view of increasing its engagement with stakeholders to enhance enforcement and compliance activities.
