TOR assures uninterrupted fuel
supply
Tema, March 24, Ghanadot/GNA -- Management of Tema Oil Refinery
(TOR) has assured the public of uninterrupted fuel supply
through-out the country.
Speaking to GNA on telephone on Tuesday concerning the alleged
fuel shortage at some filling stations in Accra Metropolis, Mrs
Aba Lokko, Public Affairs Manager of TOR said “as far as TOR is
concerned we have not stopped working because we are supplying
to the market”.
She said by Tuesday afternoon, TOR had supplied 1.5 million
litres of gasoline adding on the average between 2.8 and three
million litres of gasoline was supplied daily.
Mrs Lokko said 2.8 million litres of gasoline was supplied to
the market on Monday, saying to meet public concern “we have
added an hour to our normal working hours”.
She therefore could not explain the fuel shortage at some of the
filling stations as being reported.
Meanwhile, a visit to some filling stations by Ghana News Agency
in Tema showed that they have not stopped working because of the
shortage.
Mr Prosper Senyo, Assistant Quality Marshall of Tema Community
One filling station, said they had in stock all the products and
were serving vehicles adding that the station was not
experiencing shortages.
Mr Edward Baah, Vice Chairman of Tema Industrial Area taxi rank
and Mr Solomon Tei-Yemetey Porter of Biakoye Corporative Society
trotro station said they had a smooth run of business by drivers
and had not been hit by fuel shortages.
However, Kwaku Sarpong a trotro driver complained bitterly about
how he had to drive through the city after he had been refused
petrol supply by Tema Community Seven Shell filling station.
Ms Yaa Afriyie, a retailer at a filling station refuted claims
that fuel had run out of supply at the station.
Some believed the Oil Marketing Companies could be the problem.
