According to a press statement released on Thursday, MERA said they received complaints that the four Service stations sold fuel in jerrycans and drums which is prohibited under the Liquid Fuels and Gas Act as well as MERA regulations.
The statement states that this decision comes at a time when the country is already grappling with fuel shortages, raising concerns about accessibility and supply stability.
“Despite prior warnings, these service stations continued with the illegal sales, prompting regulatory action which is even posing risks to public safety and the environment,” reads the statement.
Meanwhile, MERA has said the stations will remain closed until they comply with the necessary procedures and ensure such practices do not occur again.
