The Management of Ghana’s strategic oil storage company, BOST, has met transport owners on the recent report of detection of fuel adulteration at the company’s depot in Kumasi, the regional capital of the Ashanti Region.
Ten tanker trucks, loaded with quantities of fuel from the company’s depot in Tema en route to Kumasi depot were impounded when testing revealed that the petroleum products onboard the trucks had been allegedly adulterated.
The drivers of the trucks bolted but energynewsafrica.com’s sources say the security agencies have succeeded in arresting a couple of them and are being interrogated.
At a meeting with the transport owners in Accra, on Thursday, November 4, 2021, the Managing Director of BOST, Edwin Nii Obadai Provencal expressed his unhappiness about the development.
According to a post on the company’s official Facebook page, the MD said: “No stone would be left unturned to find the culprits.”
He disclosed that though the police are undertaking the investigations, BOST, on its part, is undertaking a review of its internal systems.
He emphasised that should any staff of BOST be found playing any role in the illicit conduct, the person would face the full rigours of the law.
