PRA Seals and Suspends NP Brookfields Fuel Station

Aaron Parker

The NP Petroleum station located at Brookfields, Kinghaman Road in Freetown, faced consequences as its operations were halted and its license suspended due to deliberate non-compliance with Sierra Leone’s petroleum laws by refusing to sell fuel to the public.

The Petroleum Regulatory Agency (PRA) Chairman oversaw the inspection and found the station declining to provide fuel to customers. During the investigation into this refusal, it was discovered that the station had ample fuel in stock:

Petrol: 14,800 liters (10,000 in BRV, 4,800 liters underground)
Diesel: 2,200 liters
The station’s failure to dispense fuel despite possessing sufficient stock led to the immediate suspension of its license and the closure of its operations. This action aims to uphold regulations ensuring the availability of fuel to the public as mandated by the country’s petroleum laws. Further actions are anticipated pending the outcome of the investigation into this violation.

how long we are fishing fuel crisis in Sierra Leone the government are not taking any action so this is just a camouflage.

It's a very great job done, because that has been the normal attitude of majority of the fuel dealers all over the country when ever festive season approaches. And I want to suggest that the search continues all across other filling stations.

These are some of the measures the PRA should embarked on. Most of the dealers are not working in the interest of the government and the populace. Their aim is to acquire wealth for themselves at the sufferings of the people. Please let it be a routine process to ease the burden on the poor people.

To be sincerely speaking, if the government put on this restrictions in all areas,I think some dealer will reason and do well to support the government to get the citizens happy.

Having stock and refusing to sell to your own brothers and sisters you see how some business people are wicked in this country. This is what the government should be doing

| 2023-12-01 11:19:43

PRA should take over and sell fuel to the public.
