• The official launch of the OTO Gas LPG pump occurred at the OLA petrol station Buruburu on January 14, 2026.
• Key figures present included Ola Energy MD Mohamed Elhoderi and Proto Energy CEO Joel Kamau.
• Cooking gas, primarily Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), has seen significant expansion in Kenya over the last 15 years, moving beyond urban homes to rural areas, schools, and roadside cafes.
