He continued by saying that their recently introduced gas cooker has been made more affordable and user-friendly so that families across the nation, including those from middle-class families, can easily access it.

In order to protect the country's environment, particularly its forests, he further urged households to adopt the use of gas for cooking.

Additionally, he stated that his company would open office branches in all of the nation's districts to ensure that its gas cooking facilities were easily accessible throughout the entire country.
