This has affected a lot of businesses, including the clean cooking sector. The introduction of VAT will have a significant negative implication on the clean cooking sector and will make –clean cookstoves out of reach of ordinary “mwananchi”. The vision of the Clean Cooking Association of Kenya (CCAK) is to see universal access and adoption of clean and efficient cooking solutions and practices in Kenya, through a sustainable market environment. Clean cooking solutions create thousands of jobs and income opportunities to the manufacturers, distributors, retailers, sales, artisans among others. This is according to the statistics from the Kenya Cooking Sector Study 2019 commissioned by the Ministry of Energy and the Clean Cooking Association of Kenya in November 2019.
