The Head of State also warned business individuals who are involved in illegal gas filling that their days are numbered.
“I want to tell all the characters who are involved in the illegal filling of gas cylinders that are posing a threat to the use of gas cylinders that your days are numbered. Hawa illegal gas fillers must get out of the market so that we can structure the market in such a manner that it benefits the people of the Republic of Kenya,” Ruto stated.
