Cooking gas prices have increased by Sh300 since March.

The rise is attributed to rising international costs. The hike has narrowed on the benefits that came with the removal of tax on the commodity.

According to Nation, Total Kenya, #ticker:TOTL which has the largest gas market share, is charging Sh2,290 to refill a 13-kg cylinder in Nairobi, up from 2,050 in April and below Sh2,000 where gas prices remained since last July.

Cooking gas prices hit an eight-year low in March, making it one of the few bright spots more recently in an economy characterised by rising food and fuel prices.
