Retailers are required to sell petroleum
products at prices indicated in Table 3,
while Wholesalers are required to sell petroleum
products at prices indicated in Table 2. Legal action will be taken against any
retailer or wholesaler who fails to comply with these instructions.
EWURA
would like to remind wholesalers, retailers, and the general public to adhere
to the following:
a)
Cap prices can be accessed through mobile
phones by dialling *152*00# and following the instructions provided. This
service is free of charge and is available to all mobile phone service
providers in the country.
b)
In line with the prevailing sector legislation (Petroleum
Act, Cap. 392 Section 166), prices of petroleum products are governed by
rules of demand and supply. However, EWURA shall continue to encourage
competition in the sector by making petroleum product pricing information
available including cap prices.
c)
Oil Marketing Companies are free to sell their products at a price that gives
them a competitive advantage provided that, such price does not exceed the price cap and is not below the floor price
for the relevant product as it is computed according to the EWURA (Petroleum Products
Price Setting) Rules that were
gazetted through the Government Notices No. 57 published on 28th
January 2022 and the EWURA (Petroleum Products Price Setting) (Amendment) Rules that were gazetted through Government Notice
No. 761A published on 30th October 2023 and Amended Bulk Procurement
Regulations of 2024.
d)
All petrol stations must publish petroleum
product prices on clearly visible boards. The price boards should clearly show
prices charged, discounts offered, and any trade incentives or promotions on offer.
Consumers are encouraged to purchase from stations that sell products at the
most competitive prices and offer better services. It is an offence not to have prices published on boards located in
clearly visible places in front of petrol stations. Failure to adhere to this
directive will attract punitive measures from EWURA.
e)
Retailers must issue receipts printed from an
Electronic Fiscal Pump Printer (EFPP) for all sales that they make. In
addition, consumers are required to demand and keep receipts that clearly
show the name of the petrol station, the date on which such purchase was made
as well as the type of petroleum product (fuel) and price per litre for every
purchase they make. This can be used as an exhibit in case of a complaint
lodged if the selling price is above the cap price or in case the products sold
do not meet the approved specifications and provides an assurance that
appropriate government taxes on sales of petroleum products are fully accounted
for recovery from the Retailers.
