The Executive Secretary of the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC), Duncan Amoah has claimed that quantities of the off spec oil from the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST) is already been sold in the markets.<\/p>\n

The off spec fuel, he claimed on Adom FM\u2019s Morning Show, \u2018Dwaso Nsem\u2019 Thursday is already at retail outlets who have also started selling it to customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the off spec products were sold in May this year\u2026some of the filling stations are still being convinced to take some of BOST off specs and mix with the quality ones, I can tell you\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Duncan Amoah\u2019s claim is contrary to that of the NPA Boss, Alhassan Tampuli the product has already been released unto the market.<\/p>\n

Alhassan Tampuli speaking on the same show on Wednesday allayed the fears of the motoring public on the off spec oil been released unto the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not true that contaminated trucks have been released unto the market because the truth is that the trucks are still sitting at the premises of BOST and Zup Oil which bought the oil from Movinpiina has not released the contents of the other trucks\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But Duncan Amoah said that the assurances from the NPA Boss is untrue as he has been receiving calls from fuel stations which he could not immediately name telling him that the oil is already on the market.<\/p>\n

Five million litres of fuel product was declared off-spec after going through an in-house technical assessment and a laboratory test by the Tema Oil Refinery.<\/p>\n

It followed what BOST termed as \u201chuman error\u201d which led to the contamination of the product which is said to have resulted in GH \u00a27 million loss of revenue to the state.<\/p>\n

The Energy Ministry is setting up an eight (8) member committee to investigate the circumstances that led to the contamination of such larger volumes of oil.<\/p>\n

But the COPEC Executive Secretary said, the information at his disposal makes him believe that the committee set up by the ministry may not come out with any better results.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t be shocked if the committee comes out and claim that there was no wrong doing because there are great industry players who are behind all these and shielding information\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
