One Month No Gas
From Vivianna Mensah, Sunyani
Some taxi drivers and residents in the Sunyani
municipality have expressed their worry over the shortage of the gas which has
hit the municipality for the last one month.
“We will advise ourselves over this frequent
shortages in the municipality if the government does not do anything about it
and we lose our jobs”, an angry taxi driver noted.
The drivers who were seen stranded in most of
the filling stations DAILY GUIDE visited Tuesday morning were
angry about the shortage of the gas which they said has gone on for the past
one month.
When this reporter spoke to one angry driver,
Richard Kusi, he claimed he has not worked for the past two weeks because of
the shortage of gas in the Sunyani Municipality and his car owner has
threatened to sell the car if it continues that way.
“For the past three weeks every gas station you
visit has the inscription ‘sorry no gas’ which has kept us wondering if the
government’s promise of ‘Better Ghana’ is truly reflecting in the gas industry
which we survive from,” he disclosed.
Mr.
Kusi alleged that whenever there is gas at the stations because of the
shortages, one has to pay bribe to get the tank filled. This, he said, is not
helping them in their taxi business because it reflects in their daily sales.
One of the attendants at the filling station
daily guide visited said their suppliers promised to send them some of the gas
but they haven’t received it yet.
