A local company that promotes Rwanda’s green revolution by reducing environmental pollution has introduced a new cooking gas delivery with scooter electric motorcycles.

The move, according to Safi authorities will contribute to the reduction of air pollution and will facilitate Rwandans to get cooking gas on their doors without going to the gas stations.

To order the cooking gas, one needs to use his/her mobile phone and dial 3040 USD code and Safi motorcyclists bring the gas immediately at home with cost discount comparing to customer’s purchasing routine.

“We employ both men and women in delivering cooking gas and we are able to control the delivery process until the gas reach the client. We want to ensure excellent service in our daily work here in Rwanda mainly in Kigali, Musanze, Huye.” Adesina noted.
