Fuel shortage continues in south Sudan Thursday, 16 June 2011 10:08 Economy >>> Scarcity of fuel continues in southern Sudan with most vehicles off the roads in Juba. The Chairman of the Taxi Drivers Association, Emmanuel Charles, said that the shortage of fuel has affected the movement and lives of people in Juba.
The Secretary General of Petroleum Association of Southern Sudan, Samuel Jok, said the few petrol stations currently operating in town have branches in East Africa, from where they import fuel. Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Energy and Mining in the Government of Southern Sudan, William Deng Athian, told Radio Miraya that fuel is being prioritised for the Electricity Corporation, hospitals, and security sectors. However, he said that the ministry will be regulating the purchase of fuel and people will not be allowed to buy fuel in containers, and only be allowed to fill the tanks of their vehicles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JFD info" group.
