Motorists lined up as early as 04:00 hours of yesterday to buy fuel for their vehicles as the shortage for the essential commodity has hit Kasama district.
ZANIS reports that long queues of motorists where found at the few filing stations that had fuel.
At ODRO and OMACK filling stations motorists where found waiting patiently for their turn each to buy the commodity. It was the same at Engin Filling Station.
Most motorists said interviewed with ZANIS that the fuel shortage in the township to lack of adequate storage facilities in the district.
They however have appealed to relevant authorities to consider opening up fuel storage facilities which were used by the former British Petroleum (BP) Company near Musenga township.
And efforts to get a comment from either the Provincial Permanent Secretary Hlobota Nkunika nor the District Commissioner Kalanga Bwalya proved futile by press time.

Donchi kubeba at work even with high fuel prices there are still shortages.I cant wait to see Sata queue up with his container like he did when he was in opposition.I guess if an opposition leader does that now they would end up at woodlands police station.
