Gov’t urged to tackle persistent fuel theft

Like previous years, the 2012 Auditor General’s Report on Region 4 revealed that fuel and lubricant were supplied to unauthorised users and one parliamentarian has urged government to tackle the persistent problem head-on as the police are not doing much.

The matter was raised during a meeting of the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Commit-tee (PAC) yesterday. The 2012 AG report on Region 4 said that almost $2 million worth of fuel and lubricant were supplied to 16 vehicles not owned by the region.
