Fuel firms speak out after Ewura warns 'hoarders'

Dar es Salaam. The energy regulator on Monday warned Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) against deliberately hoarding petroleum products with a view to causing an artificial shortage, saying they were risking having their licenses revoked.

However, Tanzania Oil Marketers Association (Taomac) yesterday refuted the accusations levelled against OMCs, saying it was a dollar shortage crisis that is to blame for the fuel shortage.
