[kictanet] Kenya to implement automated tracking system for cooking gas cylinders from June

Dear Listers, Kenya will introduce a new system in June to track cooking gas cylinders, aiming to combat the thriving black market in the industry. The tracking will be done using Internet of Things (IoT) or Radiofrequency identity (RFID) chips, providing visibility from import points to end-consumers. The automated tracking aims to address safety concerns and accidents caused by illegal refilling, as well as reduce the black market in residential areas and informal places. The move comes amid increasing LPG consumption and the entry of new players in the sector, with plans to open up the market ahead of the end of price controls in 2025. Will this work? https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/kenya-races-to-start-tracking...
