Parliament committee assesses premix fuel distribution challenges

The Parliamentary Select Committee on Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs has undertaken a working visit to the National Premix Fuel Secretariat and selected premix fuel sites.

The Committee, chaired by Godfred Seidu Jasaw, visited James Town, Teshie, and Nungua as part of its oversight responsibilities.

The visit allowed members to receive updates on the Secretariat’s operations and engage fisherfolk at landing beaches on reforms and challenges in the premix fuel distribution system.

Key issues discussed included fuel supply shortfalls, weak compliance with accountability measures, the use of premix margins by Landing Beach Committees for community development, and smuggling and diversion at some sites.
