Accra: The Energy Committee of Parliament has assured the country of a continuous supply of petroleum products despite the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Deputy Ranking Member Collins Adomako-Mensah stated that while they have no control over fuel prices, they can implement measures to ensure availability.
According to Ghana Web, Adomako-Mensah, speaking on OTEC FM's Dwabrem show, highlighted that the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has assured that the country has seven weeks of fuel cover. He emphasized that the committee is closely monitoring the situation to prevent any shortages.
Adomako-Mensah acknowledged that prices might rise but stressed that the priority is ensuring fuel availability. "At this stage, we are handicapped because we have no control over prices on the international market, but the good news is that we will not experience any shortage for now," he stated.
The committee's assurance comes amid global market uncertainties due to the Middle East conflict. Ghana's fuel supply situation is being closely watched, given its reliance on imports.
