The Energy Regulation Board -ERB- has granted fuel transporters a one-week waiver on the restriction movement of fuel tanks on the road.
In a statement to the media, ERB Manager Public Relations KWALI MFUNI says the waiver, to run from 6th to 13th April is aimed at ensuring that national fuel supply returns to normal in all parts of the country.
Ms. MFUNI adds that the waiver means a temporal suspension of aspects of the Zambian Standard on transportation of petroleum products which stipulates that Road Tank vehicles carrying petroleum products are only allowed movement during the daytime from 06
rs to 18 hours for safety reasons.
She says the measure follows the resumption of normal operations by tanker drivers who had taken industrial action during the Easter Break period.
Ms. MFUNI has since urged collaborative stakeholders in the petroleum supply chain to facilitate for the efficient passage of Fuel Tankers on all public roads even beyond the stipulated operating time frames.
She has however reminded foreign tanker operators to deliver fuel only at TAZAMA or Oil Marketing Company depots to allow for marking of all products before they are retailed in line with the Fuel Marking and Monitoring Regulations.
YESTERDAY THE VICE SAID THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF FUEL
NOW ERB WAIVERS RESTRICTION OF TANKERS TO EASE SHORTAGE
pF MUST GO TOO MANY CONTRIDICTIONS
VENDORS SELLING FUEL IN PLASTIC CONTAINERS ON THE MAIN STREETS AROUND THE COUNTRY
DOES THIS FALL INTO THE WAIVER ??????????
My exact observation. Why are once upon a time respected old woman and old men suddenly disgraceful and disgracing themselves and their families, are political positions really worth waiving moral values for?
Some people must learn to say the truth. The truth is that there has been disruptions in the supply of the commodity.
Excellent proactive decision making here. Look how angry the upnd diasporans are. Some f00lish tribal villager thought he could win an election by causing fuel shortages. How can you expexd people to vote for you when you are deliberately causing their suffering. Hh is a pwazl
ANGRY OVER THE CONSTANT CONTRIDICTIONS
PREPARE FOR YOUR DEMISE AND LISTEN TO THE RUMBLINGS ON THE GROUND AND NOT IN SOME SMALL ROOM
NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN SAVE YOU THIS TIME
VIVA PEOPLE POWER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KZ the lonely corrupt PF diasporan in the UK is happy about the ERB taking these actions – not realizing that it was the corrupt PF government who is 100% to blame! Hey KZ have you bought some flowers already for Prince Philip? You can drop them off when you pass Bellmarsh prison tonight!
You should try your best not to take ANYTHING trolls say seriously. NO matter how POORLY they behave, remember these people spend countless UNPRODUCTIVE hours trying to make people mad. They’re not WORTH your time of day.
Today Chipata: NO FUEL
Today Chongo: NO FUEL
What’s this nonsense of “no fuel shortages in Zambia”???
Corrupt PF lies…..
