As the country continue to face eractic flow of fuel President Dr Lazarus Chakwera interventions to completely wipe up the problem is now translating into reality.
President Chakwera through his Government to Government initiative secured 51.5 Million litres of fuel which is being transported via Tanga Port.
Since the securing of the fuel, people have still been seeing the sport fuel queues prompting some questions.
But according to National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) Public Relations Officer, Raymond Likambale the fuel queues will now be the song of the past because the issue of transport which was haunting transportation of the fuel has been resolved.
“As you are aware we advertised that we are looking for the tankers to transport the fuel we received the feedback but the tankers were still not enough to haul the fuel this is the reason we have now engaged the additional tankers from neighbouring countries,” he said.
Likambare said this is the reason only yesterday they hauled 200 tankers.
He said “These tankers will help to sustain fuel availability and end fuel queues,” he said.
Meanwhile fuel queues in Lilongwe have started vanishing. Spot check in City Centre, Area 2, Chinsapo, Bypass Road , Six Miles shows less or no vehicles available on the pump stations.
Governance commentator Ceaser Kondowe has since commended efforts which Government is doing to end fuel queues.
Kondowe says G to G is crucial strategy to end these queues.
He said the problem is sabotage. “There is need to work closely and deal with sabotages,” he said.
