“You can’t have a celebration without food. In Uganda we cook for our families, we cook for our guests, and we also cook at all celebrations. Shell Gas is here to bring on all these good times and build beautiful lifetime experiences.” Paulsen said.

“Shell Gas is available in 3 sizes – 6kg, 15kg and 45kg as well as the bulk solution suitable for real estate developers, schools and hospitals. We have also introduced a new 6kg cylinder with a burner and grill, commonly known as Ka-portable, to cater for new home owners, food vendors and outdoor users.” Paulsen noted.
