Marketers blame poor roads for petrol distribution delays

“Road is very important,” Korie began, stressing the critical impact that road conditions have on the oil and gas sector.

“You will agree with me that roads contribute to the delays in the distribution of petroleum products in this country. It is very important to fix the roads. The major problem we face in the distribution of petroleum products is the roads,” he said.

He called on the government to ensure that funds allocated for road infrastructure projects were effectively utilised.

“Let the government keep to their words. When they say they are awarding contracts for road infrastructure and have paid money, they should make sure the money is paid, not on social media, then the people can hold the contractors accountable,” he said.

The NOGASA president also discussed the need to review the diesel price, as it impacts the cost of petrol.
