This will have a significant impact on job creation across the country and the region,\u201d said Ms Masoum.<\/p>\n<p>Taifa Gas is a Tanzania-based conglomerate with operations in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, DRC, Tanzania and South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>It exports and retails LPG products in these countries with plans to cover more countries following increased capacity from the Kenyan operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are elated that we now have our first significant investment in Kenya and in particular in Mombasa. We are very encouraged by the positive investment climate prevailing in the country. This investment marks a major step in our efforts to concretise our plans for a larger footprint in Kenya and the (EAC) region,\u201d said Ms Masoum.<\/p>\n<p>The LPG facility is also expected to play a hand in the reduction of habitat destruction as more people move from wood fuel to gas. Most importantly it will give customers more options in terms of where to source their LPG.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to increased deforestation and habitat destruction, we believe the future lies in clean energy. We are encouraged by the government\u2019s drive towards cheaper and cleaner energy as opposed to wood fuel that has a negative footprint on the environment,\u201d added Ms Masoum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
