The Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) has taken decisive action against two fuel service stations, ENGEN Mvera and MT MERU Chinkhoma,in central region suspending their operations for violating fuel sales regulations.
The stations were found selling fuel to vendors in jerrycans without clearance and approvals from MERA, despite a directive banning such practices.
MERA’s investigation, prompted by customer complaints, confirmed the malpractice, leading to the suspension.
This move serves as a warning to fuel service stations to adhere to regulations and guidelines, ensuring a stable and fair fuel supply in the country.
The suspension aims to enforce compliance and prevent further malpractices, ultimately protecting consumers and maintaining order in the fuel industry.
