A grouping of Fuel transporters, called Concerned Fuel Haulers, has complained that oil companies barely consider local transporters, opting for foreign transporters mostly.

The grouping, noting that only 10 out of 300 transporters are locals, has called on the government to act, specifically by getting rid of the Delivered Duty Unpaid method of fuel procurement.

Like the procurement bill that favors 60% to be towards indigenous black Malawians, the fuel transporters want government to come up with a policy that allows only indigenous transporters to haul fuel products for Malawi.

“We also want MRA to intervene and ensure that Nocma does not award contracts to unlicensed foreign transporters” said a representative of the grouping.
