The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) as a component of its standard activities has cinched down on some fuel stations in the Western Region that have messed with their fuel siphons.
The activity, which is being led by the Consumer Services Department at the Head Office and the Western territorial office of the NPA came following successive objections about certain stations changing their siphons to swindle their clients to boost benefits.
This required the unexpected visits to chosen fuel stations to really take a look at the precision of their siphon conveyance to oil buyers.
Toward the finish of the activity, the group discovered a portion of the stations at fault and thus, shut them down as they anticipate further corrective measures to be forced on them by the NPA.
The Head of Consumer Services at the NPA, Mrs Eunice Budu Nyarko in a meeting said it is an offense for fuel administration stations to siphon fuel available to be purchased to clients underneath the expected liter.
The group, later on, held a sensitisation program for petrol purchasers in the district. Mrs Budu Nyarko advised dealers and business drivers to satisfy their community obligation of promptly revealing fuel stations they suspect of changing their siphons to swindle clients.
They were given hotlines which they could call all day, every day to stop their protests. She said, “when objections are made in somewhere around 48 hours of the acquisition of fuel, brief examination can be done and reality laid out before that item is sold out”. She further encouraged people in general to “purchase powers from utilitarian filling stations since these stations are every now and again observed by the NPA and subsequently, the nature of their items can be ensured”.
The group likewise sharpened understudies of the Takoradi Technical University, merchants at the Takoradi market circle, Jubilee Park and No.9 Markets and business drivers at the market circle on the most proficient method to utilize LPG securely.
The NPA group featured the exercises of the authority including its order and obligations to the consuming public.
Lady Cindy Andoh-Davies, a Manager at the Western local office of NPA importuned purchasers to stick to somewhere safe and secure conventions to forestall mishaps.
The Consumer Services Department consistently visits the districts to sharpen purchasers about their privileges and channels to send their grievances for brief review by the Authority.
