The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has shut down some 36 gas refill stations for, failing to comply with safety protocols, nonpayment of statutory and distributors’ margins as well as operating without permits.
Chief Executive Officer of the NPA, Hassan Tampuli, who disclosed this friday that, on the supper morning show Abro News,said so far 97 refill stations have been inspected and assessed for various check on their installations.
According to Mr. Tampuli, the NPA was unable to reach a decision on some of the inspected gas plants at the time of the visit because they still had products and have therefore been given some time to reduce their stock.
This followed ongoing nationwide monitoring and inspection exercises being conducted by officials of the NPA to ensure those operating in the gas refill business adhere strictly to guidelines established by NPA.
